The Windows Setting To Increase Low Virtual Memory March 21, 2008
Posted by in : Technology , add a commentVirtual Memory: An extension of the computer’s physical memory, virtual memory is a memory area that is created by the operating system (Windows, DOS, Linux, etc.), on the hard disk. This technique used by multitasking operating systems is simply for the management of memory. In this addressing system, non-contiguous memory is addressed as contiguous memory, and is referred to as virtual memory address space.
Page memory systems use virtual memory addressing. The operating system divides virtual Memery into pages, and each page is allocated a fixed address on the hard disk. When the page is needed, the operating system copies it from the disk to main memory, thus converting virtual addresses to real addresses.
Low Virtual Memory: Virtual memory is much slower and less accessible than actual RAM Memmory. When the computer does not have sufficient RAM, the system over-clocks, as it has to constantly swap RAM information. This process is c ... (continue)
