In this video we discuss a registry tweak that will keep your windows data stored in system memory instead of virtual memory. This is important because virtual memory, which is when your hard drive is used as memory instead of your system memory, is incredibly slow compared to the system memory. Even when you have a significant amount of memory in your system, Windows will still use virtual memory. This is another way Windows has poor memory management. So lets tweak and make sure we make your operating system a little smarter, shall we?
