can only have 4 GB<\/a> of usable computer RAM? That\u2019s right, if you are planning on gaming on a modern gaming PC, a 32 Bit Window installation can seriously cripple the performance.

Allocate More Resources Using Task Manager<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGiving a higher priority to a program or Steam games can help the games run better. However, it is not going to work for all games and all systems. Still, it\u2019s as close to adding more RAM to Steam games as we can get. Setting a high priority on a game lets the system know that the game is highly important and needs to be prioritized. Here is how you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First run the game you want to play through Steam<\/li> Now minimize the game and open up Task Manager<\/li> You can do that by pressing CTRL+ALT+Del keys together or you can right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager<\/li> On the Manager, you\u2019ll see a lot of programs running<\/li> Navigate to the particular program or game and right-click on it<\/li> On the submenu, locate Set priority<\/li> Now select High or Above normal options<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s it, now the system knows that the game is super essential and needs all the resources it can spare, including RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t recommend you go with High or Real-time as these options can sacrifice functions of other programs. I haven\u2019t had issues personally running Steam games on Above Normal and would recommend that you do so as well. We don\u2019t want resources from critical system functions siphoned by a Pokemon Emulator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
