Are there any risks to doing this? Ive read that its safe to make it 1.5 to 2x bigger and it will make your computer run faster.|||On older Windows OS%26#039;s (95, 98) it was helpful to set the virtual memory size. This improved performance because Windows didn%26#039;t manage it very well and the constantly changing file became fragmented, a fixed size file didn%26#039;t fragment.
For recent OS%26#039;s, including Windows 2000/XP/Vista, it%26#039;s best to let the OS manage the page file unless you know a specific reason to set a specific size.|||It just gives Windows more (or less) temporary storage on the hard drive. When the OS runs out of RAM it uses the page file to temporarily store information which is being accessed. Generally speaking, more is better.|||theres a chicken on the carpet under ur feet
