How much space is reserved for virtual memory on different computers?
The space reserved for virtual memory varies on different computers. It depends on the operating system in use and how much system memory is available.
Capibilities of computers in the 50s and 60s?
About the same as modern computers, except limited by slower processors and limited memory space. All memory was physical memory until the late 1960s when virtual memory was developed and then virtual memory was rare. Graphics capability was primitive, when it was available.
What is space on the computers storage device the simulates additional RAM?
virtual memory
Virtual memory refers to your computers swapping of data currently in use between what types of memory?
explain the logical& physical memory
What is space on computers storage device that simulates additional RAM?
It might be called "reserved virtual memory space" or "virtual memory file", depending on the operating system.
What type of memory is used by most computers when the amount of RAM needed exceeds the RAM available?
That would be virtual memory. Its when your the excess data is stored on your harddrive. A section of your harddrive is reserved for this purpose. Though virtual memory isn't as fast as normal RAM.
How do you read virtual memory?
Find a virtual psychic to read your virtual memory.
When the whole system halts due to a STOP error are the contents of the computers virtual memory dumped to a dmp file?
True
What option is used to view a computers memory propertys?
This tutorial assumes that you have set the Control panel to Classic View. To see ... If you click on the Advanced tab above, you'll see an option for Virtual Memory: Virtual Memory is used when your computer hasn't got enough to work with.
How does virtual memory work?
virtual memory works just like as temporary memory does
What is deffernce between virtual and physical memory?
The difference between virtual and physical memory is that virtual memory refers to memory space while physical memory are chips like RAM. The memory space for virtual memory is made by operating system when there is insufficient physical memory.
Does freeing up memory improve computer performance?
Computers operate best when they have "system memory" free and are not relying on virtual memory (which uses a hard drive as additional system memory). If you have a system with 1GB of installed system memory, and you are using 1.25GB of allocated memory, then freeing up 0.25GB of used system memory would improve performance by reducing virtual memory usage. Conversely, if you have 2.0GB of installed memory, and you are using 1.25GB of allocated memory, then freeing 0.25GB of used memory would have no appreciable effect since virtual memory is not being used by the system. Final answer: If you are using virtual memory, then freeing enough memory to eliminate the virtual memory usage will improve performance, but freeing up more than that amount will have no appreciable effect.
