"The human brain contains about 50 billion to 200 billion neurons
(nobody knows how many for sure), each of which interfaces with 1,000
to 100,000 other neurons through 100 trillion (10 14) to 10
quadrillion (10 16) synaptic junctions. Each synapse possesses a
variable firing threshold which is reduced as the neuron is repeatedly
activated. If we assume that the firing threshold at each synapse can
assume 256 distinguishable levels, and if we suppose that there are
20,000 shared synapses per neuron (10,000 per neuron), then the total
information storage capacity of the synapses in the cortex would be of
the order of 500 to 1,000 terabytes. (Of course, if the brain's
storage of information takes place at a molecular level, then I would
be afraid to hazard a guess regarding how many bytes can be stored in
the brain. One estimate has placed it at about 3.6 X 10 19 bytes.)"

Is it ever advisable to have a virtual memory size that is smaller than the physical memory size?

No, it is not advisable to have a virtual memory size that is smaller than the physical memory size. This can lead to performance issues and may cause the system to run out of memory, resulting in crashes or slowdowns. It is recommended to have a virtual memory size that is equal to or larger than the physical memory size to ensure optimal system performance.
