How to get more ram!
Difficulty: Intermediate
Category: FPSB > Other/MiscAuthor(s): sssnake

First of all, if your computer is extremely slow, and would like to trade in some hard drive memory and turn it into RAM (random access memory), here is the tutorial for you! You will need to do this to play some of your games if your computer is slow. This is good for just about every performance-hungry game that you have, but there are other things that you need also, like a better CPU, video card, etc... This is just one of the things to make your computer faster without going out and buying RAM.

Now how do you do it, you might be asking?

1. Click on start
2. Click on control panel
3. Double-click on system
4. Click on the advanced tab
5. under performance, click on settings
6. When something pops up, click on the advanced tab
7. Under virtual memory, click change
8. Click on custom size and change the values a bit higher, or as high as you want
9. When you're done, click on set
10. There you have it! More RAM!


NEED PICTURE HELP? Here it is!


1. Click on start, then control panel


2. Double-click on system


3. Click on the advanced tab


4. under performance, click on settings


5. Click on the advanced tab after something pops up


6. Under virtual memory, click change


7. Click on custom size, and change the numbers higher - check the chart below for how much ram you need


Do not put more hard drive memory than you already have.

WARNING! Do not put too big of a number on the custom size value!


It is theoretical that if you have 111gb on your computer, you can use that 111gb as RAM. I would suggest not doing this because:
1. Do you honestly need 111gb of ram?
2. 5 gb at the most, don't go too far.
3. Oh yeah, make sure you actually have enough free hard drive memory first.

Chart:
1024=1 gigabyte
2048=2 gigabytes
3072=3 gigabytes
4096=4 gigabytes
5072=5 gigabytes

This is in violation of Rule 1.6 of the Tutorial Submission Rules. How is this relevant to FPSB and the games it supports?

Also, Virtual memory is horrible. If you need more RAM, jsut buy some.

Increasing the page file is completely pointless. It acts like really, really slow RAM. Also, your OS should allocate you with the correct sized page file automatically. There is no need to change it.

I guess it's kind of cool, but it would be really slow, so therefore pointless unless you're trying to use more ram than you have, in which case slow ram is better than no ram. So it's useful, but I'm not gonna do it.

This is pretty useless for gamers, the reasons why have been mentioned previously.
