What is the difference between swap and virtual memory?
Swap slices are used as virtual memory storage areas when the system does not have enough physical memory to handle current processes. The virtual memory system maps physical copies of files on disk to virtual addresses in memory. Physical memory pages which contain the data for these mappings can be backed by regular files in the file system, or by swap space. If the memory is backed by swap space it is referred to as anonymous memory because there is no identity assigned to the disk space backing the memory.
Does virtual memory lie in CPU?
Virtual memory refers to the combination of your "physical memory" (RAM) and any available "swap file". A swap file is a chunk of your hard drive that the computer sets aside in case your RAM fills up and it needs somewhere to store some extra information temporarily (however swap files tend to be a bit slower as they use a hard drive rather than RAM). So if you had 2GB of RAM on your PC and Windows made a 2GB swap file, you would have 4GB of virtual memory.
