Trying to figure out my BF6 crashes. The recommendation is to add more virtual RAM.
The upper and lower limits for virtual memory are between 1.5 and 3 times the computer's installed RAM.

Today's workout was accompanied by the most uninspired playlist. I almost left after the first 5 minutes but opted for earplugs.
I am avoiding that workout instructor because of their bad taste in music for a month. Will reevaluate in September.
