That depends on how much memory is being used by the operating system, the apps and their data. In general a paging file is 2 to 3 times physical memory so, 4x the physical memory (paging file of 3x physical memory + physical memory) will guarantee enough room for all data IF the paging file is set to 3x physical memory.

There would be more needed for the devices attached to the processor, but there will be holes in memory and these holes most often more than make up for the memory of attached devices.

What is the purpose of paging the page tables?

In certain situations the page tables could become large enough that by paging the page tables, one could simplify the memory allocation problem (by ensuring that everything is allocated as fixed-size pages as opposed to variable-sized chunks) and also enable the swapping of portions of page table that are not currently used. The disadvantage that associate with it is that more memory accesses may be required for address translation.


What is paging and segmentation in an operating system?

Paging refers to the division of address spaces into fixed size units and the logical addresses are in the form of tuples. On the other hand, segmentation is the dividing of address spaces into a defined number of segments.

Is it possible to download music on phone without having a memory card and if so how?

Any modern mobile (cellular) phone has built-in memory. This may be sufficient for some downloads, subject to amount of spare built-in memory and size of the downloaded item. Memory cards are not required for downloads per se, but supply additional memory (which may be required to allow for large downloaded items).

What is the difference between paging and fragmentation?

Paging is generally when parts of computer memory are moved to swap files. Windows uses a huge swap file to allow for more memory addresses than which actually exist. Or, in other situations, it is when there is more memory than the CPU can address at once. So an area of memory known as a page frame swaps between the memory that cannot normally be accessed and that which can be accessed.Fragmentation is when data such as memory or computer files are split into multiple locations. In most cases, a file or memory block being contiguous is the most efficient way to store or access it. Suppose you have a number of small files in different places, and then delete them. Then suppose that you copy in a much larger file. It is possible that the file could get copied into all the different spaces where the small but scattered files were deleted. So now, you have a large file that is scattered all over the hard drive.The relationship between the two terms is that paging memory to swap files can cause disk fragmentation. As the swap file grows, if there are no more contiguous places to put it, it will get broken up and placed wherever it will fit.
