Virtual memory is a type of memory that is allocated by the operating system and is used to speed up operations. Cache memory is RAM that the CPU can access faster than regular ram which is considered physical memory. When the CPU is looking for data, it checks the cache memory first, recently used data will still be in the cache. If it does not find it there, it moves on to use the physical memory. Anytime a program or file is opened, it is first loaded into RAM (physical memory).
