One can increase their PC's virtual memory by going to the desktop, right click and select properties, select advanced, under the performance tab, select settings, advanced, change, then change the space allocated to the virtual memory by increasing it, select apply, ok, close.

How much ram do you need if you like to edit movies on your computer?

512 mb for an Okay process and 1 gb for a smoother one. In between one can increase the size of his virtual memory if the size is getting too big. For virtual memory, simply use Help (F1) and search...


The salesperson offers you a one time special 10mb of virtual memory for 100 Are you buying?

The salesperson obviously hasn't got a clue what virtual memory is - or you misunderstood him. Virtual memory is a system that is integral to the computer system, not something that can be added.

Why is physical memory better than virtual memory?

Physical memory (in a computer) is 'better' than virtual memory because it is much faster (and speed is usually the main concern in this subject area). Physical memory (or RAM) is where the programs and variables are stored whilst they are working. Virtual memory is only used when the computer runs out of physical memory. Virtual memory is just one or more files saved on a hard disk. Access to the hard disk is much slower than access to the physical memory.


What is the difference between ram ROM cmos cache and virtual memory?

Short answer is difficult, but we need one. Your computer contains all kinds of virtual memory.. on the RAM chips primarily. Maxed-out older computers resort to using space on the disk drive, which is relatively slow. A cache is a saved memory of what you have recently been doing, and is used since it is very fast. It duplicates a finite amount of what is in virtual memory.


Why are segmentation and paging sometimes combined into one scheme?

Segments can be of different lengths, so it is harder to find a place for a segment in memory than a page. With segmented virtual memory, we get the benefits of virtual memory but we still have to do dynamic storage allocation of physical memory. In order to avoid this, it is possible to combine segmentation andpaging into a two-level virtual memory system. Each segment descriptor points to page table for that segment.This give some of the advantages of paging (easy placement) with some of the advantages of segments (logical division of the program). ok hope wil b helfill


What is Virtual Mapping in computer?

Virtual Mapping is one of Computer architecture concepts which a process thinks that it's only process on the machine ( at least on the memory). the benefit of that to ensure the security of Multitasking systems.


Why does it say available memory is 614 mb when there is 1024 mb in the computer?

Any program running on your computer requires an amount of memory to function. The amount can vary depending on the software running and it's intended purpose. You operating system is a software program or more accurately, a collection of programs. All of the processes and tasks it performs require memory. This is why 410Mb of memory is un available; it's already in use by processes running on the computer. When the memory you have is all used up, then windows uses something called "virtual memory" which is basically one or more temporary files on your hardisk (also known as swap files). When there is no memory available, windows will use virtual memory instead (where possible). Writing and reading data with a hard disk is much slower than using memory. This is one major reason why increasing memory size (reducing the need to use virtual memory) improves the overall performance of a computer.


What is the purpose of virtual memory?

"Virtual" memory is computer memory that exists on a fixed media and non-volitile storage device of some kind -- a hard drive, or a solid state drive -- which is used, mostly, for overflow from, or swapping things in and/or out of, regular Random Access Memory (RAM). The computer comes with three kinds of memory in it: Read-only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), and the "virtual" memory that's created by the operating system on a hard drive or solid state drive. Hard drives, and/or solid state drives, in and of themselves, are not considered "memory." They're considered mass storage. However, once the operating system is up and running on the computer, and has allocated parts of itself, and of the various programs that are running, into RAM; and has also allocated a certain amount of RAM for calculating and doing things, then it will also allocate a little bit of one of the mass storage devices -- usually a hard drive, but on some of the newer machines with solid state drives in them, it can also be on that -- for what's called "virtual" memory, which is mostly used for RAM overflow... more specifically, for swapping things in and out of RAM. The computer reads from ROM (usually the BIOS and CMOS chips) at startup so that it even knows that it's a computer; and then, from there, what it has connected to it, and how to use it all. Then, once the computer has fully booted-up, the operating system loads parts of itself (and some other things) into RAM, and then it allocates part of mass storage as "virtual memory." As RAM starts getting full, the operating system will take the least-used things in RAM and will throw 'em down onto the part of the mass storage device that has been allocated as "virtual" memory. Then, if anything in virtual memory becomes needed up in RAM, again, the operating system will go get it and pull it back up into RAM. Virtual memory, then, is mostly used as "swap" space. It is not, then, actual "memory," per se; but it certainly functions like it. Virtual memory is also slower than regular RAM: Data cannot possibly be put onto, or pulled from, the "virtual" memory part of a hard drive full of moving parts as fast as it can be moved around RAM, itself. Even a solid state drive, which is a little like RAM in the sense that it's an integrated circuit with no moving parts, is not as fast as RAM. But the operating system knows how to keep things moving, and to only swap things down into virtual memory that really and truly won't be needed as much or as often or as quickly. The virtual memory management parts of most operating systems is pretty sophisticated. So, then, the answer to the question, "what is the purpose of virtual memory," is that virtual memory (which is always a part of a mass storage device, allocated by the operating system) is primarly used to swap things in and out of RAM so that said RAM won't get so clogged-up and bogged-down. When one purchases a computer, one reads certain specs about it. For example... The "processor" (or CPU) may be "dual core" and three-point-something gigahertz (GHz) in speed; or, The memory (or RAM) will be 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 (sometimes more, sometimes less) gigabytes (GB) in size; or, The hard drive (mass storage) will be 500 to 750 gigabytes (GB) (or even one terrabyte, or larger) in size; and, sometimes, There could also, optionally, be a solid state drive (also considered mass storage) of 32 or 64 GB. "Virtual" memory is always allocated by the operating system from space on either or both of the hard drive or solid state drive mass storage devices; and said operating system then "swaps" things to/from RAM down to/from the allocated "virtual" memory; thereby keeping RAM from becoming cluttered and slow.


How do you simply disable your virtual drive on your CD ROM?

A Compact Disk Read Only Memory disk cannot be used as a virtual memory, because it is a read-only memory format. Virtual Disk is a method of using the Random Access Memory on the motherboard to simulate a Random Access disk drive, but with much faster access times than is possible for a peripheral device. (One which is not on the motherboard.) Windows uses a virtual memory routine to set aside part of the hard disk drive for additional storage in case the onboard RAM becomes too full to allow rapid processing. Data which is not being manipulated immediately is moved to this section of the hard disk, and then moved back when the processor is ready for it. This allows faster multitasking when using a machine with a small amount of onboard RAM.


How does random access memory affect the performance of your computer?

RAM is the virtual memory of your computer; the more RAM you have, the more programs you can run at one time. However, that is just a brief explanation.
