Can you install Sun VirtualBox on Linux and run a Windows virtual machine?
Yes. There is a Linux port of Virtualbox and it runs Windows as well as any version of VB.
What is defined as the condition that occurs when your system is running out of virtual memory?
When a PC runs low on virtual memory, system activity causes what is called "thrashing", when memory is repeatedly paged out to, and read back from, the hard drive.
When do you use your virtual memory?
When your PC runs of of physical memory - it uses the hard drive as memory so it's much slower when it gets to that point.
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 Linux application?
An application that runs in linux
When your computer runs out of ram does it borrow space from the CPU?
If your computer runs out of ram it will use virtual memory, essentially meaning it will borrow space from the hard drive.
When is the need for increasing the virtual memory?
virtual memory acts as additional memory to support ur ram when it runs out of the required memory needed by program. it is taken up from the hard drive u specify and when it is needed it is used. u can also change the size of virtual memory in ur PC, bt most of the time it is automatically done by the os in order to maintain the performance of the machine.
Is ram faster than virtual memory?
Virtual memory is memory taken from your HDD and converted into ram. Ram is the actual memory chips installed in the memory modules on your motherboard that are used for running processes,programs(etc.)
Linux can only be use on micro computer?
No. Linux also runs on mainframes.
The 64-bit version of windows xp runs on the Intel itanium chip and supports up to gb of physical memory and up to tb of virtual memory?
up to 16gb of RAM and up to 16TB of VM
How can you clear all your virtual memory?
Windows handles the virtual memory and there really isn't a way to clear it. Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive. It basically uses your hard drive as more RAM. You can't clear virtual memory any more than you can clear your RAM. It is possible to set the size of the virtual memory that Windows can create. This is done (if you have XP) through the control panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory Change (other OSs will have it in roughly the same place). As you can see it isn't easy to find, because changing it can result in very bad things. If you make it too small, you system may crash when it runs out of physical RAM. Too large and you waste hard drive space. It's usually 1.5G, or smaller for older systems. Personally, I would just leave it alone. Windows only uses virtual memory as a last resort, and usually picks a reasonable size.
How do you install MSSQL server 2008 R2 in Linux OS?
You don't, it's a Microsoft product that runs on the Windows family. You could run Windows in a virtual machine, I suppose, but that would be of limited use.
