When I try to run a certain game I get an error saying "virtual memory must be enabled"?
Question:
CPU intel daul core E6600
HD 2X 320 GB S-ATA (not set up in RAID conf.)
RAM 3GB dual channel ddr2 6400pc
GPU single 9750GT KO 512 MB (not in SLI mode)
OS XP
Answer:
For any given workload, the total need for virtual addresses will not depend on the size of RAM alone. It will be met by the sum of RAM and the page file. Therefore in a machine with small RAM, the extra amount represented by page file will need to be larger — not smaller — than that needed in a machine with big RAM. Unfortunately the default settings for system management of the file have not caught up with this: it will assign an initial amount that may be quite excessive for a large machine, while at the same leaving too little for contingencies on a small one.
