How do I switch the virtual memory on my computer?

You can not switch to virtual memory, you can increase or decrease virtual memory.

Note: virtual memory is a temporary ram (compensating the physic memory from your memory cards)

Usually this virtual (temporary) memory is on your hard disk, which are very slow in performance. Therefore if you constantly receive warning to increase virtual memory, I will not recommend you to increased due it will help only to disable the warning. But the real solution is to upgrade your memory cards.

But if the warning of virtual memory is once a while you can increased the virtual memory as long as you follow the configuration for virtual memory. for this you can follow the instruction provided by weverson by using the formula below to calculate the minimum and the maximum

example if you have 1 GB of ram

minimum virtual memory = total ram x 1.5 (1000 x 1.5 = 1500)

maximum virtual memory = total ram x 1.5 x 2 (1000 x 1.5 x 2= 3000)

ok, if you use windows xp, fallow the instructions

left click in my computer icon-> properties -> advanced-> performance and set for custom memory and configure you value , click in ok and reboot you system.
