Should i increase my Virtual Memory Size?

It is currently at 1313MB, would anything bleak or good begin if i changed to 2024 MB?

Should i increase my Virtual Memory Size?

For optimal performance set your "Initial size" to your physical RAM x3 and your "Maximum size" to that number + 1000.
you'll enjoy more virtural memory , make sure you elevate both the highre and lower limits
If you're frequently running out of virtual memory afterwards it would be a good impression to increase it. Nothing bad will transpire if you do this, but you will now lose an extra ~700MB of your frozen disk space because this will be reserved for virtual memory. If you're really using up that much virtual memory, you may want to consider purchasing more RAM. Virtual memory and disk swapping is MUCH slower than actual RAM memory.
please continue to allow your computer to run your VM allocation, if you are low it automatically increases so that you might slow your computer down if you did change it by cap yourself off.

Virtual memory is typically memory that is to say on your hard drive. When you run out of RAM memory it transfers information to a spot on your hard drive. By accumulation virtual memory it will allow your system to swap out more data to the concrete drive but it slow the system down. Your hard drive probably runs within the micro-second range while your RAM runs surrounded by the mili-second range. (much faster by 10X or more) To increase the speed of your PC try installing more RAM memory.
