I set mine at a minimum size of 5000 MB and and max size of 6000 MB. In the text boxes type in a relatively high number based on how much space you have on your extra drive. After that select you extra hard drive or flash drive in the menu above and select 'Custom Size'. If you meet one of these requirements, first select your main hard drive with the OS on it and select the 'No Paging File' and click set. This step is only useful if you have an extra hard drive besides the one with your system files on it (Windows OS), or if you have a flash drive that you can commit to speeding up your computer, or external hard drive. The final box that says 'Virtual Memory' should say how many megabytes your computer is using as 'Virtual Memory' or Ram that is allocated on your hard drive. The 'Processor Scheduling' and 'Memory Usage' boxes should both be set to programs. The less that is selected, the faster your computer will perform.

You can either choose the automatic setting for 'Appearance' or 'Performance', or you can click custom and choose what you like. In the first tab that is open called 'Visual Effects', you can edit how good your computer runs or looks. The will be a box that says 'Performance' click on the button there that says 'Settings'. Once this is open click on the the 'Advanced' Tab. Click on the 'View System Information' link in the upper left hand side of the screen. Now what you want to do is open 'My Computer'. It will prompt you if you would like to restart. After done selecting everything click accept and done. They just wont waste your valuable ram if your not using them. These programs will still work if you launch them from a shortcut or link if you click on them. In this tab, disable anything that isn't important such as google desktop, java, adobe, printer software, dial-up or other nonsense. What you want to do is extend the column at the top that says command. The names of the items in here are not in any way as strait forward as the services tab. Once you are done in here, open up the startup tab. But, a good example of what to turn off would be the wireless service if you are connected to the internet through a ethernet cable. Remember that it is extremely important dont turn off anything important or that you dont know what it is. In the services tab you can search through the programs listed and disable them from starting up. First start by clicking on the services tab, dont worry about anything else for now. It may seem confusing at first, but its rather simple. In the start menu, click the button that says 'Run' (If your using Vista, search it in the search bar) After that window opens up, type in the text box 'MSConfig.' This will open up the system cofiguration program. Another thing that you can use to speed up your system that most people don't know about is configuring the startup of your computers task bar programs.
