Title: help with virtual memory and stuff Post by: envaluecrypto on March 13, 2017, 11:37:04 PM Hi, sorry for bothering you good people, I have a problem.. Recently made the switch from ethOS to Windows, due to low hashrates on ethOS. Problem is I have a 32gb SSD and windows doesn't let me (ofc) allocate 16gb virtual memory as there's not enough space.. Can i just put another HDD and then allocate it there ? (Will the miner work, DAG and stuff I don't have knowledge of) or must I cash out a bigger SSD

Virtual memory is around from way more than SSD and it always worked. I've mined for quite some time with old HDD with 32Gb of virtual memory and I didn't notice any difference between SSD or HDD Title: Re: help with virtual memory and stuff Post by: NeuroticFish on March 14, 2017, 09:05:56 AM What windows you have? I assume it's 7 or 10. I made a google search: windows page file on separate disk
One of the results shows the images what to set for Win7: https://superuser.com/questions/237813/how-can-i-move-the-page-file-to-another-physical-disk-location There's a similar result for Win10 too if that's your OS: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-move-page-file-in-windows-10-to-another-disk/ I hope that this is what you needed. Good luck.

You can get a cheap 80gb hdd used or something , it doesn't differ what type the drive is.

Good luck. I found those too, but just wanted to post in this forum, maybe someone has experience with it, if miner gets confused or something it being on a different disk. Will try surely. Thanks for the help Title: Re: help with virtual memory and stuff Post by: botmanside on March 15, 2017, 01:55:23 PM why the hell dont you try it, we have to try it for you or what? ...
