Thanks in advance for the question.

Finally got another 512 memory for the Blue and the Gray.


Have the virtual memory at 1344 in both boxes. Before I install the memory stick should I leave the boxes as they are, or check the system manage size?

Space available 121476mb

Then its got - Total page file size for all drives - Min.2mb recommended 669, currently allocated 1344mb..... so leave at 1344mb or the recommended 669 ?

Thanks

Depends on your specific OS. Just in general I'd set it at 1536 or 2048, since you have a ton of space. Never go with the Windows recommended minimum, or let Windows manage it. If you know enough to be looking at that screen, and to install memory yourself, you know enough to take control away from Windows.

Thanks for the advice. Installed it last night, took the default settings (in the game) and it runs great on this budget desktop.
