Can I fix the memory overflow lag in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition on G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3200 8GB by changing priority?

Trying to run the Legendary Edition on 8GB of RAM in 2026 is basically like trying to race a tractor on a highway—it's pure masochism. Every time I jumped between galaxies, RAM usage hit 98%, and the system started swapping like crazy to the disk, causing the game to completely freeze for 2-3 seconds. I tried closing every single background browser tab, but that only freed up about 500MB, which was a joke. I ended up manually locking the system page file to 16GB and using a memory cleaner to flush inactive pools. In Resource Monitor, the page faults dropped from 120 per second to around 15, and the hitching became way less frequent. At first, I set the page file to 'System Managed', and it gobbled up 40GB of my SSD, making the whole OS sluggish until I set a fixed size. RAM temps stay between 38-44℃, but the load is always on the edge. I exported the performance logs, and it's barely holding on, but it works.
