In addition and for a better understanding of what is said, Virtual memory actually tricks the computer into thinking that there is much more RAM available than there actually is--since the programs don’t actually need all the RAM available at the same time. Thus, we are able to load several programs all at once. Without virtual memory we wouldn’t be able to run numerous applications – like an operating system, a web browser, and a word processor without upgrading our RAM. Found another good source explaining this idea though.. http://virtualmemoryfix.com/ Great explanation, the concept of virtual memory was introduced in a simple manner that average users can understand.
