Is virtual memory the cause of lag on ADATA ValueRam 4GB?

Watching my FPS swing violently between 40 and 15 was an absolute nightmare, especially in the middle of a high-stakes PVE fight where stability is everything. 4GB of ADATA ValueRam is honestly a joke for modern engines; my usage was pegged at 96 - 99%, forcing the system to lean on the painfully slow disk swap. I tried enabling every 'memory boost' option in the BIOS, but the chips were too low-bin and the system just refused to POST, which was incredibly frustrating. I eventually manually mapped the virtual memory to my NVMe SSD and locked the size at 16GB, while killing Windows Defender's real-time scan to claw back some overhead. Using DiskSpeed, I saw page file latency drop from 120ms to a manageable 18 - 25ms, and the scene-switch deadlocks vanished. I actually messed up the partition choice at first, which made booting a crawl, but moving it back to the C drive fixed it. Temps stayed at 38 - 44℃, and the input lag is finally gone.
