Hi,

Right click on My Computer Icon and choose properties

in the Computer's properties windoew hit the advanced tab under performance click settings then in the Performance Options windo click on the advanced tab, under virtual memory click Change in the virtual memory Window under Paging File Size for the selected Drive click Custom Size usually the minimum size should 1.5 of your Memory size and the Max can be as much as double size of your memory after you set the sizes click on the Set button and apply then ok. close all the windows related to the paging file

Hope it helps

P.S: Keep in mind that it is preferred to have the Paging File on a drive other than your OS Drive

Answer 2

First of all thing this is not the key for best performance in gaming, games requirement of memory is so large, so it can't fed up because this is just a trick to free up the ram in extreme requirement of fast memory. So it highly recommended to increase ur RAM or install a Dedicated GPU in ur system
Now! the rule says put the swap space 2 times of RAM. So as ur have choice to make pagefile of 512MB but i suggest you to make it larger than 1GB. It is more better if total partition is blank or free , on which u going to make pagefile.
Right Click on My Computer on ur desktop>>click Advanced TAb >>click Settings button>>Advanced>>click Change>>select ur Drive(i recommend u to choose completely free or largest free device(except C: drive))>>Enter manually or select "System Managed Size" >>Click on Set button>>Ok>>Ok>>Ok.. then restart ur system.
U will see some improvement in gaming experience..
Good Bye n
Have a nice Gaming!!
