Virtual Memory

[Guest]

Keep getting message when playing games - virtual memory low and causes severe lag. Dont understand this (have 256 kb ram) havent had problem until recently.
How can I increase virtual memory so this stops happening
Any help gladly appreciate

XP itself can use all your RAM. To increase your Vram, go to control
panel>settings>Advanced>Settings for Performance. Or just get another 256meg
stick for your games.

256 in minimal for XP. Your page file could also affect
things.

How the page file works and how to set it up and why there
are some problems (e.g., with Norton programs):
