Windows 7 and Windows XP memory recommendations

Hi all

I am currently using Windows XP and Windows 7 in the linked Clone pools. I spent the time to optimize my base images, as recommended. I use 2 GB of RAM for the two operating systems. My question is what is a realistic minimum of RAM for XP and 7 for a typicle user who will use the Microsoft Office 2007 and Internet Explorer version 8? Windows 7 will work fine with 2 GB of RAM and XP with 1 GB of RAM? Thoughts?

Use only basic functionality Office, a virtual XP can work good also with 640-768 MB and a virtual 7 can also work with only 1 GB.

Internet EXPLORER 8 does not require a lot of memory, but Flash or Java may need more.

    Original title: 64-bit Windows 7 memory dump blue screen

    Specifications of the computer

    OS: 64 - bit Windows 7 Home Premium
    It's a new generation and I have all updated drivers, bios, and Windows updates. I set my virtual memory for two hard drives (min: 8000/Max: 24000). I run PrecisionX in the background with stock settings, and Asus II HAVE suite and my CPU is overclocked to 3.8 (recommended turbo). I run CNettoyez on a regular basis to solve registry problems.
    I had my new blue screen of generation of dumps from memory, about four times since I built it. It comes into play, i.e. of Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3, and once when he came out of sleep. I ran a memory test, and he says that he has no problem. Suggestions or anything like that, I need to test again?
    On a side note: don't suck my HDD or is it decent? 1 TB, 3 Gb/s, 32 MB cache. My OS is on my SSD as well as Torchlight 2, and the rest of my stuff on my disk HARD of Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3, media and stuff.

    Thanks for your help. I think that I thought about it. The "timing" on my ram is disabled, so I manually set in the BIOS and see what happens.

    Also, it would cause W7 to freeze coming out of sleep? I had this recent problem where when my computer out of sleep and it wouldn't wake up and my CPU LED should blink slowly. After turned it off, I will re-start and it would be nice, but now it is that whenever I put it in sleep mode.

  • I have a message saying "windows virtual memory is low"

    I'm using windows xp (32) bits and a message keeps coming up saying "Windows virtual memory is low" what can I do about it please can someone tell me? ".

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

    If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

    Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.

    This could mean that the settings have been adjusted for certain values that don't make sense for the configuration of the system.  Unless we know the system better, you can't just pick certain values out of the air and that your system behaves effectively.  You might not see the message again, but this does not mean that the settings are correct.

    This could mean that the settings have never been properly in the first place when you first install of XP and things must be properly configured.

    Sometimes, as your system configuration changes over time and other applications are running and get bigger, you may add additional RAM to your system to accommodate things (or run the number of requests).

    At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

    To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

    Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

    The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

    System managed size

    Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

    Note the current setting, so you can change things later if you have a problem.

    If it is already done, on the size of swap file:

    System managed size

    Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK (several times) and then restart your computer.

    Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

    If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

    "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

    All the advice to 'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value' are misinformed ideas that come from not knowing how to work XP - How do you increase it and what happens if you increase too?

    If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

    The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

    If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings and need help looking at your stuff, follow these steps:

    Since the implementation of the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  • CQ61-319WM and AC twin memory RAM speed

    I bought the CQ61-319WM with / 3 GB or RAM.  The provided configuration is a badly matched set of a 1 GB SODIMM (A-Data) and a 2 GB SODIMM (Samsung).  According to CPU - Z 1.54, both pieces is 400 MHz (DDR2 - 800 MHz), latency CASE 6-6-6-18-24 and according to Memtest86 + 4.00, the result is speed of the RAM of 3481 MB/s using 64-bit transfers (single channel access).

    Upgrading to a configuration usually total memory dual channel results in a good Speed up, I decided to replace the 1 GB SODIMM with another 2 GB.

    I had a piece of 2 GB to another previous project, but it was a version special high speed with latency CASE of 5-5-5-18-23.  I decided that a pair of them so completely taken over would be the best that I could reach, so I bought a second piece (about 80 $ CAN) and put them in.  I've also upgraded the BIOS F.13 (and my Memtest86 + 4.10).

    The result is better, but not as good as it could be.  Reports of CPU - Z full CASE 5-5-5-18 is used and I think it's saying that the dual channel is active (or he's saying that the RAM can support double channel - I am not sure).

    Memtest 86 + (4.00 and 4.10 versions) indicate that the CASE has indeed changed to 5-5-5-18, but that access is still 64-bit (single channel) and the speed of RAM increased to 3614 MB/s.

    3614 MB/s is faster than 3481 MB/s, it is not as fast as I expect 5-5-5-18-23 memory to be if it is currently running dual channel (128-bit access).

    I believe that the BIOS has probably decided to stay "single channel" because the RAM is in a configuration that was unexpected (because the latency CASE is too fast).  However, this probably means that if I buy another piece of 'standard' 800 MHz DDR2 (CASE 6-6-6-18-24) and install it with the original Samsung RAM, it will probably run at full dual channel (128-bit).  Such a configuration should be faster than what I'm running now, despite the fact that the RAM by piece real speed is slower.

    Anyone used this RAM (2 x (2 GB, 800 MHz, CL6)) the installation program?  Can anyone confirm that the result is a configuration complete dual channel?  I can buy the RAM, but if she does not run dual channel, so it's just a waste of money.

    Note: It would certainly NOT let fall to the bottom as for two-channel to 667 MHz.  Such a decline would result in approximately 2600 MB/s even double channel speeds up access.

    I heard generally good.  Curiosity prevailed, and I bought one more piece of RAM.  This piece has been another 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz SODIMM, but this time with the same latency than the original equipment numbers (CASE 6-6-6-18-24).  I installed it with the original Samsung CQ61-319WM and speed of memory that result was exactly the same as the pair (CASE 5-5-5-18-23) faster RAM.  The computer has finished 3-pass of Memtest86 + 4.10 as the fastest pair of RAM, confirming also the speed.

    This tells me that the speed increase had nothing to do with issues of latency, and she had to come from the increase in speed of access memory (128-bit) 'Dual Channel '.

    As to why Memtest86 + 4.10 is reported as "single channel", I feel that the answer may have to do with the RAM 'Side Port' CQ61 graphics system.  According to published specifications, this computer has 128 MB GDDR2 (and memory).  It does not say how this memory is configured.  If it is the only channel (128-bit), then it could be that Memtest86 + sees.

    To confirm this, I took the pair of quick latency RAM and put it in another computer that uses an older AMD 690 chipsets, and the same pair of RAM ran in dual channel mode on the other computer, but at a lower speed of 667 MHz.  Therefore, it seems that AMD memory controllers have probably no problem with this pair of RAM running in dual channel in general.

    While nothing that I've done is quite conclusive, indicates that this computer was probably working with access memory dual channel for two configurations of 4 GB RAM I used.

    In any case, I'll leave the slower RAM in the computer because whenever I change my configuration of memory, I have to lose more than 3 hours running Memtest86 + to check it's OK.  If I did not need to get an acceleration, I will use the faster RAM later in something else.

    There might be a reason to use the best of the RAM (which is probably more recent technology and probably using a little less power), but I don't want to spend more time on this issue.

    There is probably no difference except with removechild, the object is not have a depth.
