1- This doesn't belong here
Most appropriate subsection
2- What about OT
I won't even bother answering, if you expect them to help me with something computer related, I'll be there for months.
Plus this is a basic question you guys know.
Messing with my system stuff I come across an option to give my computer some of my HDD to use as Virtual memory, or fake RAM, naturaly I jump at this chance, but will it speed up my PC? I'm thinking of giving it 50 GB but I'm not sure if it'll let my computer have that much. |

Wrong section. Go to OT. Wait, OT is useless...
I think you would have a better chance of getting an educated answer in Scripters to be honest. |

I'd get a bunch of people asking me if I was RP'ing as Yoshi.

Scripters is realy strict :/, I thought this would be a basic-ish question lots of people knew. |

Don't bother with scripters, you'll get yelled at and reported.
However, since I frequent that section alot, I'll be more than willing to help you.
OP, it won't really give you any boost in speed unless you use ALOT of ram (like upwards of 80%) normally, if you find your computer using up all of your ram, then yeah go ahead and allocate a few gigs to page files, but don't bother with anything over 4 gigs. |

| Necro, I'm not very computer smart, but my computer Usage is usually 90-100%. I'm wanting to know if this is the RAM or if my computer just sucks. :P |

Computer usage and memory usage are different things, be sure to check.
If it's computer usage, it's just your processor, not an easy thing to replace. If it's memory usage, your computer's low on RAM, and you can buy a lot without really spending too much. |
