    Assuming you are using windoze xp, google came up with pages full of answers. Here is a good link

    shows you other options beside virtual memory also.
    Is your slow computer old? Have you done a disk cleanup/defrag lately? Suspect any viruses or been DLing torrents and lookin at the pron lately? Your machine may be slow for a reason.

    You are welcome, have you noticed any performance boost? I know upping the virtual memory helps some if you have many windows open or processes running at once but not sure how much of a boost youd get in normal computering.
    If you still think it slow or need anything else just post back.
