Difference between virtual memory and RAM?
Answer(Techsupport)Resolution: RAM and virtual memory are two different things. Virtual memory allows you to use a portion of your hard drive as though it were RAM. Your hard drive is up to 100 times slower than RAM, so virtual memory is much slower than RAM. When you upgrade your RAM, you can reduce or eliminate the use of virtual memory. Upgrading RAM makes memory available to complete tasks previously handled by virtual memory.

What happens if you have no virtual memory?
If you are using a modern version of Windows (Windows 95 or latter) you will be using virtual memory. Virtual memory is NOT the pagefile and it is not an extension to physical RAM but a system that is completely integrated into the system. Applications access virtual memory exclusively, no exceptions, ever. You can not disable virtual memory. You can disable the pagefile (not recommended) but this will not disable virtual memory. The system provides a virtual environment to processes that is completely independent of how much RAM is in the system. This is an advanced system that provides many important advantages to applications and users.
What capacity does virtual memory has?
since Virtual Memory utilizes Hard Disk space it is really only limited by how much free space you have on your hard drive
What is the virtual memeory how to increase the virtual memory?
Virtual memory is space on your hard-drive that holds information about active programs but is not currently needed and thus would just be taking up space in RAM. You can change how much virtual memory you have but to assist you on that I would need to know what OS you are running.
Is it possible for a computer to run out of memory with a virtual memory?
Yes. Virtual memory is used when there's not enough RAM in your system. It's just hard drive space that the PC sees as RAM. It is much much slower than RAM though. You could run out of memory if you are running enough programs that your use up all your RAM and your virtual memory is used up.
How can you tell how much virtual memory your computer has?
Virtual memory is determined by 2 factors. First, the amount of free hard drive space available on your hard drive. Secondly, it is determined by your virtual memory settings under Windows properties. Assuming you have not changed your Windows default settings, then every ounce of free harddrive space IS virtual memory.
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 Virtual memory size if physical memory size is 1024MB?
Windows will automatically set your virtual memory size. It all depends on how much free space there is on your hard drive. Your physical memory is your RAM. 1GB of RAM is the same as 1024MB.
