Virtual Memory(VM) is where programs run, not the real RAM.
of course, but adding ram w/o adjusting the v/m is futileI think it's just the wording.. as i know you know, of course, that programs are run in RAM not VM.
Historically, that was always true. But that has changed with the advent of 64 bit systems (I don't know if OP is running 32 or 64bit.. but that's why that's one of the questions i thought to ask the OP in my first post in the thread)of course, but adding ram w/o adjusting the v/m is futile
The 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows XP can support more RAM than the 32-bit versions of these products. When lots of memory is added to a computer, a paging file may not be required.
@almatreb"Virtual" memory is actually diskspace. You'll find more info here
