XFast RAM Settings - size

Page 36 highlights

XFast RAM Settings You may find the XFast RAM setup page in the left panel of ASRock Extreme Tuning utility. First select the desired drive and disk size to create a virtual drive. To access more than 4GB of RAM in Windows® 32-bit OS, please leave PAE mode set to ON. In the options section, users may enable and assign the size of a partition for Ready Boost if they're using a 32-bit OS. We suggest setting the size of Ready Boost one to three times larger than your RAM for optimized performance. Normally, when the memory being used by all the existing processes exceeds the available RAM, the operating system moves pages (4-KB pieces) of one or more virtual address spaces to the computer's hard disk. By enabling Memory Pagefile, the system puts the pages into the virtual drive instead of the hard disk drive to accelerate performance speed. 36

In the options section, users may enable and assign the size of a partition for Ready
Boost if they’re using a 32-bit OS. We suggest setting the size of Ready Boost one
to three times larger than your RAM for optimized performance.
Normally, when the memory being used by all the existing processes exceeds the

virtual address spaces to the computer’s hard disk. By enabling Memory Pagefile,
the system puts the pages into the virtual drive instead of the hard disk drive to ac-
celerate performance speed.
