    My computer has Intel I5-4670 CPU, 16 GB of system memory, Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB SSD, and two Western Digital 2TB HDDs. I have Windows 10 Pro. What's the best virtual memory size for 3D 64-bit games?

    I went to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Performance Monitor but it doesn't tell me about virtual memory. How can I set up Performance Monitor?

    At 16 GB you could disable the swap file altogether, but this may not be the 'safest' approach because some applications are somehow relying on the presence of the page file. So to be perfectly safe, set it to 'fixed' at 1024 MB.

    Unless you have space constraints, you should just let Windows handle it.
