If the computer is running, the memory (RAM) almost assuredly is as well.
Operating system
Access memory in system unit
Synchronous dynamic random access memory (in other words fast access memory that the computer uses for the operating system/kernal, and running programs)
Access memory in system unit
A memory resident, which means it remains inmemory while the computer is running, other parts of the operating system are nonresident, meaning these instructions remain on a storage medium until they are needed.
The software that it is running. (Low level memory management itself comes down to the operating system though)
The operator system is software- a program that controls the computer. It is usually stored on the hard drive when the computer is not running and is read into a special portion of main memory when the computer is booted up. (There is a boot strap program stored on a chip that loads the O. S. into memory. ) Some of the routines needed by the operating system are not kept in the main memory but are read in only as they are needed.
Don't delete the virtual memory. It is essential to the running of your operating system.
Windows laptop computer refers to the operating system in the computer. This operating system is where your virtual memory, task, and files are stored.

Computer
The more you change things on your computer the more fragmentation of your computer memory you are making. here are some computer operating systems that will automatically reduce the amount of fragmentation you will have. Most computers will still have some fragmentation of files on the hard disk. You have, as part of the operating system of your computer the ability to 'tidy up', or remove fragmentation mostly running the operating system defrag program. This will mean your computer will put everything you use most at the easiest to access end of your memory, this means that the computer works as fast as it can
