Optimize your PC by increasing the amount of virtual memory
Is your PC slow and you can’t afford to add RAM? Don’t worry, virtual memory can be your savior. By adjusting the amount of virtual memory, you can simulate additional RAM in a cost-effective way. Although this method is less efficient thanadding RAM, it can considerably improve your computer’s performance without requiring costly investment.
Virtual memory works by using part of your hard disk as an extension of your RAM. When your system runs out of RAM, it uses this “virtual memory” to store temporary data. It’s as if your hard disk became an extension of your RAM, enabling your PC to handle more tasks simultaneously without slowing down.
Advice :
Using an NVMe M.2 SSD for virtual memory offers considerable speed advantages over a traditional hard disk drive (HDD). SSDs are much faster, which means data is read and written faster, further reducing latency and improving the fluidity of your system.
