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.

How do you find virtual memory size based on physical memory size?
http://science.jrank.org/pages/1698/Computer-Memory-Physical-Virtual-Memory.html this link can easily explain all the details by m3th0d Please leave more detail this time as this answer is useless and did not answer the question any moron can copy and paste a link. Cheers.
Why is my virtual memory bigger than my physical memory?
Physical memory is the RAM which you have placed on your motherboard, so if u have 4 slots which support 4 GB max it will equal 16 GB.Virtual memory is the amount of virtual memory allocated by the user & resides on the Hard Disk (Pagefile.sys). There is no limit to the amount of virtual memory which a user can set on a PC. It all depends on the size of the hard disk.
How you will be defining the size of memeory?
You need to be more specific. Defining what memory? Pagefile, virtual machine ram, physical ram?
Is virtual memory another name for hard drive storage?
The size the virtual memory is determined by the size of the page file which saved in your hard disk. Virtual memory only uses the hard disk.
What is segmented page allocation?
Segmented page allocation is a type of memory management that uses base and bound registers to determine memory faults, similar to dynamic page allocation. More importantly it is different to dynamic page allocation since the entire process doesn't have to be in memory, similar to using virtual memory paging where the program is broken into pieces. Unlike virtual memory paging, the maximum virtual memory size is limited to the size of physical memory.
What is the use of virtual memory?
Virtual memory is used to increase the size of working memory in the system main memory by using the locations in secondary storage such as harddisk.
What solution could be determined to resolve low virtual memory minimum?
The solution to resolving low virtual memory is two part, part one is increasing the physical memory in the machine (RAM). If one can't increase the physical memory then one can increase the page file size. If neither of these work, then there is probably a application that is corrupt on the machine and needs addressing.
How do you boost your vista vitual memory?
You can boost your Vista virtual memory by setting it to a custom size approximately 2.5 times larger than the installed physical memory. This will prevent an excessively large file from being created and becoming fragmented.
What can be the maximum size of virtual memory?
That depends on the operating system and computer architecture.
What is the default initial size of virtual memory in Windows XP?

How to calculate virtual memory in 80286 microprocessor?
Virtual memory does not exist physically but it is available in the systemThe procedure of fetching the chosen pgm. Segments or data from the secondary storage into the physical memory is called swappingSo it can address 1GBPhysical address calculation in PVAMIt uses 16-bit content of a segment register as a selector to address a descriptor stored in physical memoryThe descriptor is a block of contiguous memory locations containing information of a segmentPrivilege levels prevent unauthorized accessesMaximum segment size will be of 64kb
What is the function of the pagefilesys file?
PAGEFILE.SYS is the virtual memory file Windows uses. Typically, on install, Windows sets the size of the file at around 1.5 times your physical memory size however this size will vary depending on the amount of free space on the disk when the file is established and other factors. Most will find the default size works fine but it can be changed.
