Page Ram?

[Maihym]

What is page ram exactly because this program that I have is telling me that I have 8GB of page ram. Here is my build:

It's referring to the physical memory.

Are you sure because there is another bar that shows 7.8GB of RAM and it's not page ram.

Then it's referring to the page file. The page file is a section of a drive assigned by the OS or user to act as RAM in case your physical RAM fills.

Oh ok, how can I find out how much VRAM I have on my intergrated graphics?

Integrated graphics doesn't have any of its own VRAM. It uses system memory as VRAM - you can either find that information in the BIOS or using a program such as GPU-Z.

So I play Arma 3 and I want to try to get better graphics out of it. For the VRAM parameter can I put like 4GB since I have enough regular ram or should I put the regular ram parameter?

I don't think the BIOS goes up that far - you want to leave enough RAM for the system too.

With that system, your VRAM would be edited in the BIOS/UEFI. A lot of systems can support up to 1 GB of memory dedicated to video.

Oh ok cool, do you know how I can set that?

Most likely you'll have to restart the computer and get into the BIOS - usually F2 or DELETE will get you in, but you have to do that before it starts loading Windows (or whatever other OS you're using).
