I've been getting "your computer is low on memory" errors with some games. Most recently with Star Citizen. I Googled the problem and found out how to adjust the page file size, and the tutorial says that the page file is normally set to the amount of ram installed on the system....I have 16gb of memory and it was only set to use 200mb to 1000mb(I'm wondering if Samsung Magician set it this low because I have it optimized for reliability?). The drive is a Samsung 850 Evo 250gb with about 60 or 70gb free at all times(I heard somewhere that you shouldn't pack them full). So what should I set my page file min/max to for the best gaming performance? Can you have too much? Any help is greatly appreciated!
