How can i designate a specific amount of RAM for a specific program?

Use the Windows Task Manager

Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Then, specify the priority

to the program once you

find it running...

For RAM, idk... you can't control the amount of

RAM allocated for a program. You can increase it

by adding more memory into your computer.

Also you can increase virtual RAM of your hard drive or

external drive to your RAM. To do this,

For using USBs as RAM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JskHdh5d12E&feature...

For increasing virtual RAM on the C Drive:

You can also play around with the virtual

memory here but you can't designate

it to a certain program...

You can't, and even if you could, you wouldn't want to because it wouldn't do what you think it would do. The computer needs the flexibility to allocate RAM where it is most needed, otherwise the system as a whole runs slower and even the programs that have plenty of RAM will slow to a crawl.

Here's a simple way to understand it: Performance sucks if a computer doesn't have enough RAM to do its job. By designating specific amounts of RAM, you increase the chances that some part of the system won't have enough RAM to do its job, thereby increasing the chances that performance will suck.

Computers cannot really isolate performance problems. If something is causing performance to suck, then performance will suck for everyone. In particular, memory shortages cause lots of disk I/O, which slows down the I/O all the processes do. (Actually, there are ways to work around this, but for typical home computers, it's way more trouble than it's worth.)

As more and more work backs up for the disk, you begin thrashing. Thrashing means the computer has to work harder and harder just to get the same amount of work done. So if a program needs X, Y, and Z to get its work done and has X and Y, it will ask for Z. Normally, it will get Z, and do its work.

But if the disk I/O queue is long and RAM is short, by the time it gets Z, the computer may no longer have been able to keep X and Y in RAM. So now the computer needs to ask the disk to read in X and Y. By the time X and Y are read in, Z may be gone.

Surprisingly, even dropping the priority of other programs only makes the problem worse. By dropping the priority of another program, you make it run less often. If you're low on RAM and run a program infrequently, more of the data it needs will not be in RAM, resulting in more disk I/O. This additional disk I/O will slow down the programs you care about.

Bluntly, if you do not have enough RAM to comfortably run all the programs that are running on your computer, performance will suck overall and all the programs will suffer. The only cure is to get more RAM or run fewer programs.

i like American Indian myself and that's what I call myself. once you're from India and you at the instant are an American citizen, you're Indian American. once you're a close-by, you're an American Indian. it particularly isn't any longer in all risk all that puzzling. in my opinion i think of that human beings who get upset by using the term "American Indian" or "interior sight American" are slightly too delicate approximately issues. Why concentration on some thing like that as a replace of poverty and crime and the corruption of the BIA and the withholding of royalties by using the american government to tribes?
