The virtual memory is a feature of the Windows operating system with the purpose of helping the physical memory (RAM) of the computer. If the computer have a low memory and you run a program that requires high memory, the Windows XP operating system will use the virtual memory for the needed additional RAM. The Windows operating system uses the hard drive space to simulate the RAM. The virtual memory is also known as the pagefile, which is similar to the UNIX swap file. The virtual memory performance is achieved better if the computer have multiple hard drives because the operating system can use the hard drive that is less used for faster access.
