Virtual memory is determined by 2 factors. First, the amount of free hard drive space available on your hard drive. Secondly, it is determined by your virtual memory settings under Windows properties. Assuming you have not changed your Windows default settings, then every ounce of free harddrive space IS virtual memory.

Your commit charge on your computer task manager maximum was 2440my computer went for some repairs and when it returnedthe total commit charge was 1491 what the heck does this mean?

That depends. The "commit charge" is the maximum amount of physical and virtual memory available on your computer. Your computer will have a certain amount of physical memory (RAM) installed in it; each program that's opened uses a certain amount of memory. If your computer needs more memory it uses part of your hard disk that's called a "paging file"; it's kind of like a reserve gas tank as far as memory goes. This is also called "virtual memory". So, if you had 1 gigabyte of memory installed and your paging file size was 2 gigabytes, your total "commit charge" would be 1 gig + 2 gig for a total of 3 gigabytes, or 3000000K. So, for your numbers to go down like that, either your paging file size was reduced or the amount of physical memory in your system was reduced. You'd need to know how much memory was installed before your computer got repaired, and what the technician did when he/she repaired your computer. Did they remove any memory? Did they swap out the motherboard (the "guts" of the computer) with one that had less memory installed? OR for some reason did they just reduce the size of the paging file? Answering those questions will tell you what happened.

How many modules are installed and how much memory does each hold?

Many of the memory manufacturer websites have tools which will scan your computer and let you know how many memory modules and the size which are installed. There are also programs which you can download which will tell you the same thing. The other option is to open your computer and determine the number of memory modules that are installed, normally the memory modules will all be the same size. To ensure the size of the memory modules you should remove them and read the labels.
