  To achieve optimal mining performance on your Windows 11 mining rig with 8GB RAM, it is recommended to set the virtual memory size to at least twice the amount of your physical RAM. In this case, you should set the virtual memory size to 16GB. To configure the virtual memory settings, follow these steps: 1. Right-click on the 'This PC' or 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and select 'Properties'. 2. In the System Properties window, click on the 'Advanced system settings' link on the left side. 3. In the System Properties dialog box, go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on the 'Settings' button under the 'Performance' section. 4. In the Performance Options dialog box, go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on the 'Change' button under the 'Virtual memory' section. 5. Uncheck the 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives' option. 6. Select the drive where your Windows 11 is installed (usually the C: drive) and click on the 'Custom size' radio button. 7. Set the initial size and maximum size to 16384 (16GB). 8. Click on the 'Set' button and then click on the 'OK' button to save the changes. By following these steps, you can optimize the virtual memory size for your mining rig and ensure smooth mining operations.
