Constant how windows operating system implements virtual memory?
Windows operating system implements virtual memory through the use of page files. A page file is a large file stored on the hard drive that acts as a type of virtual RAM. When the system needs more memory, it can take advantage of the page file to provide additional space. This allows the system to run more programs than it could fit in physical RAM, and also helps to improve overall performance.

Is a virtual memory a special chip inside the hard disk?
No.Virtual memory is a file stored on the disk and managed by the operating system software. As needed the operating system copies blocks of internal memory out to this file to free internal memory and copies blocks from this file to internal memory when a program needs it again. To assist the operating system in this task the computer has to have virtual memory management hardware and interrupts.All of the hardware that is involved directly in the operation of virtual memory is part of the computer, not the harddisk.
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.
