虚拟内存

如果RAM可以用于更加智能的处理其他的任务，虚拟内存可以使系统将内存内容调换到硬盘。所以，即使您具有很大的RAM，提供虚拟内存也不是一个坏主意。

Normally, the swap file is written to the boot partition. If you're running low on free memory there, you can deactivate the Automatic swap management and choose another mounted partition from the popup menu. The swap file size is set with the slider below.
If you often run into disk thrashing due to the virtual memory system swapping memory in and out, you can try to use a separate harddisk for you swap file to avoid I/O congestion. Simply another partition on the same harddisk with your system/data won't help. Upgrading your RAM is of course the most effective way to go...
