Heres how to change you virtual RAM : (WARNING be carefull when doing this)

- Go to control panel - System properties - performance settings - Advanced tab.
From there you can change your virtual memory.

Hope this helps.

DO NOT INCREASE VIRTUAL MEMORY - It is set by windows, changing can cause serious system instabilty, It Caused the demise of my old pc..

DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

you are far better buying some some real RAM!

You might try a program called Win Cleaner. It is a free download, just do a search for it in Google.

I had crashes to blue screen upon exiting SH3 even though I have 1 gig of memory. I run Win Cleaner just prior to exiting the game and have only had 1 crash since.

Note: I disable Win Cleaner while playing the game. It's default setting makes it run every 10 minutes or when memory gets real low; I found this to be annoying while playing the game.
