Making computer faster by upgrading virtual RAM

[@thepragmatic6383]

Almost 10 years old, and still relevant, thank you. Very clear video and description.

[@user-hl1gw3hu1u]

I like how 10% of the comments are saying this doesn't work and 90% says it worked perfectly :D

[@camgibb59]

Thx. Additional consideration for all is : hard drives have arms on multiple discs like the old needle on vinyl records. The less it has to move back and forth, the faster it'll be. Having same max and min size prevents os from constantly changing virtual memory file size. Also known as the. swap file *swp. It will likely be in pieces in different places. Using hd app, defrag and get free space and swap file in one piece at start of drive so arms travel as little as possible.

[@camgibb59]

The earlier Norton Utilities I think did this. Currently I think Perfectdisk and another I forgot, do this. Yrs ago I saw huge speed up defragging and moving system files to start of drive.

[@KeithDevaughnII]

You saved my life with this video. There are plenty of people calling you a moron and such. This literally fucking worked for me. It boots faster than ever. I've tried so long and hard to reduce my boot time and this here is exactly what I need to do. Thank you so much.

[@Blood0cean]

have u had any regressive problems after doing this? whats ur ram ?

[@Enverex]

Guys, please ignore this video. It's clearly made by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. Firstly his RAM is showing 3.8GB rather than 4GB usable because he has a CPU with a built in graphics chip, so that 0.2GB has been assigned there (if it was being used by programs it would still be "usable"). Secondly, Windows manages how much SWAP RAM you have anyway, what he's advising you do is pointless. This will NOT help performance because if you reach the point where SWAP is being used at all (because all your actual RAM has all been used) your performance will crash through the floor because your hard disk is massively slower than actual proper RAM. You will NOT get more FPS in games, things will not work faster. Anyone who thinks they have seen a performance increase from doing this is unfortunately suffering from the placebo effect.

[@Enverex]

***** Actually it wouldn't, it would just waste disk space.

[@martinbishop9042]

Enverex actually no, it WILL slow down your computer, if you give windows VM it will use it, it tries to always keep some ram free by doing a balancing act. where as if you have no pf (or a small one) it forces windows to use the (much much) faster ram.

[@Enverex]

The amount of swap/page you have allocated won't effect how much Windows swaps (unless you have no page file or the page file is tiny and simply isn't usable). For example Windows won't utilise virtual memory more if you have a 4GB page file VS. 2GB.

[@CreeepyBoy]

how do I undo this?

[@chaoticreaper3821]

Nerds jk xD

[@amandasnow9925]

I just want you to know that I couldn't even play my games at all they would move frame by frame like slow motion. I tried this step from this video and my games are running so great!!! I sooo appreciate this!!!!

[@liyahj.3628]

Thanks man you're a life saver, I started up the sims 4 and it worked smoothly! The environment loaded faster and I could switch sims without freezing for 5 min lol I can finally use all my cc too! I can definitely deal with little lag spikes here and there because it's expected but the way my game ran before I did this method was terrible 😢

[@jamesmathew3951]

This is one of the major point to make the computer speed faster. And for this problem, I always used to call on the toll-free number the AskPCTechies to resolve the error completely.

[@TechnoMageB5]

Virtual (as in "not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so") RAM does NOT speed up your machine. What it does do is allow memory-hungry programs to run under circumstances where you would otherwise run out of memory. However, if your computer needs to use virtual RAM, it runs a lot SLOWER when doing so. Google "how does virtual memory work" for more information.

[@Crimsonfireball]

Virtual or not Ram just does not make a computer faster. But If you tend to open more apllication and multi task, it's doesn't hurt to have a virtual ram.

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

+Crimsonfireball just add more. my pc can take up to 64gb or 128gb ddr4 I just have 16 and it's pretty fast

[@TechnoMageB5]

***** You are correct, but you missed the point. The point was about VIRTUAL RAM, not physical. Adding physical RAM to a system that at least occasionally exceeds its previous RAM limit will always boost that PCs performance.

[@nugrohoifadianto9497]

+TechnoMageB5 hello mister..i using research educational software and do numerical running simulation that base on "HOW BIG the RAM " on PC was.. i do it on 2 notebook with different OS and do it together..something strange happen, when i do in notebook with win10 64 OS, the memory on task manager use nearly maximum (3.4 GB which maximum 3,8 from actual 4GB installed next, the notebook with win7 64 only show 1,9GB RAM used from 3,8 avail from 4GB actual installed..and the runnin also longer.. both of them base on core i5 an only do 35% CPU process..yes, the simulation never care about core available on your PC, only available of RAM (or the RAM could use) will make sense..the result, win10 do faster with less than 50 hour running, and win7 less than 80 hour running.. any suggest??

[@TechnoMageB5]

Nugroho Ifadianto That's odd. Sounds like your notebook is allocating some physical RAM as shared video RAM automatically (instead of having a dedicated video card with its own VRAM), and (this latter part is a guess) may be self-adjusting the allocation based on OS management. You'll need to research your model on how that is set up and if BIOS settings allow you to control that (the Probook notebooks we have at work do NOT let us).

[@danieldvs100]

Thank you, needed a refresher, just got a new pc, windows 7 64 bit after dealing with a windows xp 32 bit for 4+ years. subscribed.

[@capekarl]

this seems to have helped my aging cheep lap top. Thank you.

[@ProducerGio]

My windows 8.1 had it running at 1875 what a joke. I have 4gb. This was a real help, thanks bro.

[@bgtracker]

Your hard disk is slower than your actual RAM. The computer uses the "virtual ram" when it lacks of actual RAM. I would recommend disabling your page file aka "virtual ram", if you have more than 8GB of RAM.

[@Avtexify]

What i don't get where should i change those numbers,i mean at 3:25,he has C: and D:,and he puts it in the first one,that means,that i must put the numbers in the first one,or must i put in the one with where windows is install,or OS or whatever it is called,or where i want to boost my game,in my case i want to boost the speed of games!It may sound stupid or nonsense what i just said,but please someone help!

[@Nickgowans]

This makes no difference, windows already uses all the vram it needs, this is literally a placebo to make people who don't know any better feel slightly better about themselves, honestly, the only effective way to improve a machines memory is to buy more ram or to declutter the startup with msconfig

[@nathmull1997]

+Al Paca It actually tends to slow down your computer I have tested and my computer runs much more smoothly without any extra dedicated RAM

[@Hamza_Aziz]

+Al Paca yeah your right trust me this method does not work its all fake. if you want more performance then go and buy more ram sticks depending on your PC

[@CeleryKing523]

Thank you. Thank you so much. I used to able to run games like CS:GO or Chivalry:Medieval Warfare, but lately it's been lagging hard FPS wise. This has helped me get back into swinging my sword. Thanks!

[@earthling1984]

Vitural ram is very slow unless you are using an SSD hard drive or some other drive that can run virtual ram. A fast SD drive or external SSD may be ok. But, never use a normal disk hard drive for virtual ram. In the past I actually turned off virtual ram on computers that only had normal HDDs.

[@Nickgowans]

You can use pagefiling (virtual ram) on a HDD but as you say, it won't improve performance since the data is coming from the HDD in the first place and HDDs are really shit slow, secondly if you're using an SSD you want to avoid pagefiling, because SSDs only have a limited number of read write cycles before they degrade, Pagefiling on a drive would go through these read write cycles several times faster than normal use.

[@malibogic997]

how do you use a D: drive for boost?im right now trying it on my computer and windows 7 doesnt recognise the DVD.Pls help

[@GhostvaperYT]

dont do this,virtual memory is SLOWER than ram. so using it slows your system down. buy extra ram its cheap now.....or you can do this with a ramdisk that works great. google speed up windows with ramdisk.

[@jelenajankovic9546]

It doesn't. Virtual memory is outside of the motherboard and doesn't affect it.

[@GhostvaperYT]

jelena jankovic this type of virtual memory uses a paging file which is stored on disc, its slower than real ram. buy ram.

[@jelenajankovic9546]

The virtual and physical memory is stored on a hard drive, while RAM is located inside the motherboard. It pages files to create exceptions from the programs.

[@GhostvaperYT]

just buy RAM its cheap and faster. if you want to do this - then it would be better if you use an SSD. vista had a system called superfetch which used memory sticks / cards etc to speed up system but again its a waste of time. use RAID 0 with 2 hard drives or ssd's and buy RAM.

[@jelenajankovic9546]

I still didn't taken the video.I know, but SSDs, I don't like.

[@xtianebernal]

What recording program did you use?

[@InnardOrchard]

before doing this and expecting big increases, I would first recommend optimizing the pc for performance. i.e turning off all the visual appearance effects. Then go into services.msc and shutting off unneeded services. msconfig and turn off all the programs that start with windows. As for optimizing the pc for audio/video production, they usually recommend doing all those things plus "getting rid of the paging file all together" along with low space disk checks and other background checks. I see a lot of people do tutorials and blame the screen recorder for slow performance when their pc isn't even optimized.

[@Crimsonfireball]

Works well with my 1T external hard drive. I partioned it by half and then use the half of it as virtual drive. It process things much faster now.

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

+Crimsonfireball Wou ldhave made just as much of a difference if you had only used 12GB. All you did was waste 488 GB of storage space. If windows would actually use 500GB of virtual memory you could to lunch to wait for a program that used that much to startup... Virtual memory is more then 100 times slower then physical RAM. RAM Speeds are up to 25.6GB per second. HDD's are up to 550MB/sec for SSD and 150MB/sec for HDD.

[@TopiasSalakka]

Virtual memory speeds up your PC only in a situation where you're very low on physical RAM, such as when you have a ton of Chrome tabs open, or using other memory intensive program.

[@bestdaddyoftheyear]

Our lovely chrome hits (eats) the RAM, lol good example mate

[@abba9462]

Don't use Chrome, it's the worst.

[@ImplosiveCatt]

It never speeds up. Unless you think that disk drive is fast as RAM. It only prevents your apps crashing when out of RAM space.

[@TheAerialTheater]

what did you use to record your screen? camtasia?

[@tajaljain3444]

How come I only have 2944 MB on the total paging size for all drivers while my computer has 16 GB of RAM?

[@gavinscottroyce]

So you can only have 1 usb active as extra ram? I have tested this but I am not sure.

[@michaelmalenchek4575]

misinformation from this video please refrain from changing your page file in system settings this will not increase system performance it may actually slow it down in some cases.

[@Morsovuniverse]

Hi Gadget Worm; I want to ask you if you buy physical Ram and mount it you computer will you get more Virtual Ram?

[@IlDeimos]

This is pointless. RAM isn't everything to making a PC faster. If you want faster load times, and faster bootup times, install an SSD and put your OS on it. There are so many fake videos on youtube its crazy. KZbin needs to take them down, they are just spreading false information. I just seen a youtube video that tells you "How to make your internet speed 100000x faster", Really? LOL. Some people have no life.

[@warfighter7690]

Well, this guy actually took his time to try and HELP people. being negative (No offence, Ekipze, Techgenius) doesn't really help promote this video.

[@mattplays2193]

What is that video recorder your using

[@thegaminghd9221]

its not actually true, instead you are using the HDD (hard disk drive) which is further than RAM in the tower and that slows it down more especially if you have a older HDD. Programs always slow down when using the HDD, just think, you are always wrighting the files to your HDD which in return is slowing down the HDD.( Loading times will be much longer) The best way and allways will be is to upgrade your PHYSICAL RAM (ive found it as cheap as £40 for an extra 4GB of it.)

[@windlesSpice]

A quick question for some computer wiz out there in youtubeland. When you upgrade, say 4 gb to 8 gb of ram, do you have to put in 8 new gb, or can you add 4 gb. In other words, does the ram have to be from the same company? I know this is probably stupid but I know very little about computers. Thanks.

[@odobenus159]

This will not make your computer faster. Upgrading RAM doesn't make your computer faster either. The only time upgrading RAM would really help the average user is if they had under 4GB of RAM. Also upgrading the speed of RAM in no way will help the average person and even for pc gamers the difference between 800MHZ RAM and 2133 ram is 1-2 FPS.

[@bluack123]

If you changed that 4GB to 8GB you would be correct, if you're a PC gamer at least. 8 is the new 4, almost all games requires more than 4 these days and no game requires over 8, Watch Dogs, you wont even be able to launch the game with 4 GB of ram when it's released. And currently, 4GB of ram for battlefield 4 isn't enough, you get constant stuttering with anything less than 6.

[@odobenus159]

bluack123 Yeah but he is making it seem like the more RAM you have the faster your computer is which is bull crap. For the average user more ram then 4 GB is useless and a waste of money. I am a PC gamer and I do a lot of 3D art so I need at least 8 GB of RAM.

[@nIghtorius]

You may be tinkering with Virtual Memory. But hearing you. It seems you have absolutely no clue how this works. Keep it at de recommended setting "Let windows manage" for optimum performance. Extending Virtual RAM (paging) actually worsens performance. Actually you didn't assign 5839MB but 8911MB (as your pagefile extends over two drives which is actually one drive partitioned into two, therefore increasing seek times unnecessary) Best performance? Disable Page file op Drive D:\ Enable "Let windows manage" Done.

it seems like using your hdd as ram would use up a lot of read/write cycles on it, causing it to have a shorter lifespan. maybe this would be good if you had an old drive laying around to use solely for this purpose it would be good, but I would guess that if you have parts around like that you probably don't have much need to upgrade ram on the cheap anyways.

It really depends on how you are using your computer. there is no right or wrong amount. I personally am a power user and gamer and have one pc with 24gb another with 16gb and a laptop with 8gb. To find out how much ram you use regularly open your "task manager" and in will show you your ram utilization. Most people think keeping it below 60-75% on normal basis is good for pc health.

Hi, I need your help. I have 8GB ram my laptop is i5. I need to know my maximum recommended RAM to set on Custom size is 4588. But on your Laptop shown bigger than yours how can i make it more bigger?

[@jimladd09]

on my graphics card i only have 2gb of ram but on my actual computer i have 16 gb of ram , is there anyway i can add some of the 16gb to the graphics card ?

[@wrije]

Thank you I have 8 GB of RAM and ONYL 3.20 GB WERE USABLE!! I changed it to 6 GB and now my _performance_ *AND* _speed_ are better!!!

[@AHL82]

ItsPrimeTime If you have 8 GB of ram, you should be running 64 bit Windows. Sounds to me, that you're running 32 bit Windows,

[@wrije]

Anders Lund I am running 64 bit Windows but my RAM space only said 3.20 GB were usable. Idk how to change that...

[@andyap7440]

ItsPrimeTime then how did you change it to 6GB ??

[@wrije]

Andy aP I thought I did but it didn't work. I shut off my system and turned it back on, but it says again only 3.20 GB are usable. I wanna fix it, but I don't know how. Also, Marisa Kirisame how do I reinstall Windows? Do I lose everything I have?

[@ldchappell1]

ItsPrimeTime Did you look up the specs of your computer? I have an older computer and even though it has 4 RAM slots it can only take 4 GB of RAM.

Well I get what you are saying even though I don't pc game, I just use my ps3. But I'm Getting a gaming laptop for:Photo and video editing also music production. Which takes a pretty power computer to run the programs, it also needs a good graphics card which gaming laptops have. What I don't understand is why do you use all Ram for gaming and no SSD? I thought it would be a combined force between the hard drive, ram, graphics card and the processor? I'm guessing, it would be smoother?

mine was 1233 (recomended) and i have 4 gbs so should i put it to 6144?

[@sherrywinn6093]

Hi, Gadget Worm. Once I have performed the actions you described, I go back in to Computer, right-click properties to check the RAM and it still says the original amount, however, when I go to the Advanced settings where I increased the amount, it does show that I made changes. (I did re-start my computer.) Is this okay? Please advise. Thanks for the information!

Well mines says system managed & C: is my only option with 'System Managed' as the only information given to me under my 'Paging File Size' information. Does that leave me disqualified with doing any of this? cuz I really don't wanna mess anything up proceeding on...
