It will be significantly slower than actual RAM so it could potentially prevent the crashes it just won't be efficient in transferring data.

So do you recommend a particular amount or will the "System managed size" radiobox option is fine for the E: drive?

I've never tried it myself but I think you shouldn't add too much. Just enough to give you some head room so probably about 2GB.

Well I've never really played around with this either but what should I set the initial size to?

1GB so it can dynamically take what it needs.

Ok, thanks a lot! I'll be trying out to play some games and see if it crashes, but it happens rarely like the last time I crashed if I remember correctly was about 3 weeks ago. And it just happened now.

Ok so I've been playing Far Cry 3 and Battlefield 3 for a total of about 6 hours and it seems pretty good!

That's my C: drive and I just left Windows to manage the size for me but unfortunately I don't have any games installed on my C: drive.

It doesn't matter if you don't have games in the C drive..

What matters most is the speed for the storage itself that is used for Vmem, take advantage with it.

Yes I know that already that's why I left Windows to manage it as it's the default setting.

If you have space for it, vm should be as much or double the ram. It doesn't matter on which drive it is. For me its on HDD since having 16gb of vm on SSD makes no sense.

Generally virtual memory 1.5x to 2x the amount of your ram. Just make it 2x pertaining youve got enough room.
