My C partition's space has becoming very low for past few weeks and I have already done the disk cleanup several times, and now there's nothing more to cleanup really, so the only option I have is to decrease or disable the Allocated virtual memory, now the thing is can I do that? If I do will it hamper system's performance? Right now its set at default 8183 MB, I am on Windows 7 x64.
I have Google searched a bit and some articles on Microsoft's website suggests that I should actually use double virtual memory than my RAM's space, so I have 8 GB RAM meaning I should use 16 GB allocated memory? WTH?
Anyway, when I say about performance I mean gaming performance mainly as this is my primary gaming rig.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I don't use Hibernation, I don't need System Restore and all those features. I simply wanted to know whether decreasing that space of 8183 MB to half or something like that will affect any performance or not.
