Step 7: A Virtual memory window, uncheck the box next to Automatically manage paging file size for all controllers and click the radio button next to Custom size.


Now, if your machine runs on 4GB of memory, the calculations will be as follows:

1GB = 1024 MB So, for 4GB RAM, it should be = 1024 x 4 = 4.096 MB Now, the Initial size of the pagefile should be 1.5 times of the total RAM. So, for 4GB RAM, the Initial size (MB) = 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB; The Maximum size should be 2 times of the Initial size of the RAM.  So, for 4GB RAM, the Maximum size (MB) = 2 x 6,144 = 12, 288 MB.

*Note - Calculate the Initial size e Maximum size for the system RAM-based paging file.

Now, here we configure the file Initial size (MB) similar field 6.144 MB, and the Maximum size (MB) similar field 12.288 MB.
