What happens if you have no virtual memory?

If you are using a modern version of Windows (Windows 95 or latter) you will be using virtual memory. Virtual memory is NOT the pagefile and it is not an extension to physical RAM but a system that is completely integrated into the system. Applications access virtual memory exclusively, no exceptions, ever. You can not disable virtual memory. You can disable the pagefile (not recommended) but this will not disable virtual memory. The system provides a virtual environment to processes that is completely independent of how much RAM is in the system. This is an advanced system that provides many important advantages to applications and users.


What is memory mangment?

The memory management subsystem is one of the most important parts of the operating system. Since the early days of computing, there has been a need for more memory than exists physically in a system. Strategies have been developed to overcome this limitation and the most successful of these is virtual memory. Virtual memory makes the system appear to have more memory than it actually has by sharing it between competing processes as they need it.(by Mr. vicky lambole, Nandurbar)
