SUPERCOMPUTER
A desktop saves memory in the CPU. When one wants to access information, the random access memory, or RAM, is used. The amount of memory a computer has depends on the size of the CPU.
A virtual desktop is a type of program that allows a user to have more information on their desktop in a smaller amount of space. There are different ways to use or access the virtual desktop. The virtual desktop may be shown by an icon on the main desktop. It may also be hidden in the taskbar as a running application. A user only needs to click on the appropriate icon to select the virtual desktop. A virtual desktop is only available to use if a person has downloaded the appropriate software

The same amount of power has to fit in a smaller space.
Usually, a computer is sold with the minimum amount of Random Access Memory installed for the computer to work properly. Increasing the amount of memory will usually result in much faster processing. If that is not sufficient, it may be possible to overclock the processor, but that is extremely dangerous, and can result in the processor burning up. Do not attempt this without skilled assistance.
How much memory your computer has depends on the size of the computer and how much memory you purchase, not whether it is a laptop or a desktop. Desktop computers tend to have more room for RAM than laptops because there is more physical space in the computer; however, it is entirely possible to have more memory on your laptop than on your desktop. It all depends on how much RAM you purchase and install on your computer.
Access Time
It depends wildly based on the computer. Typically, most modern x86 processors have 128 KB of L1 (64 KB of Instruction Cache, and 64 KB of Data Cache) The L2 memory varies, but in modern Intel and AMD is typically between 2MB and 8MB, but may be as little as zero or as much as 16 MB. In non-x86 computers, it can vary even more, to as much as 128MB for specialty supercomputer processors. L3 cache varies even more.

This depends on the kind of program and the amount of data. If you are asking about individual numbers during a calculation, these are often stored in Registers inside the processor. For programs that work with small amounts of data, the data is often loaded in the computer RAM (Random Access Memory). For programs that work with a large amount of data, such as a database program, the data is usually stored on a disk drive and only little bits a read into the computer at a time.
Google desktop consistently uses around 320M of RAM once installed which is a fairly high amount. Most computer users cannot spare that much memory all of the time.
Based on your computer type (laptop or PC), your processing system (Mac or Windows), the age of your computer, the amount of ram you have, and your Java version (32 or 64 bit) your computer may not be able to support Minecraft.
