What is virtual memory and how is it different than RAM?
In: 41
Virtual memory in windows is taking a normal storage drive and telling the operating system to pretend a portion of that is ram
It’s much much slower but it’s sorta like a hold over from the olden days of PCs when 50mb of ram made you a baller.
Ideally you won’t use virtual memory. It’s incredibly slow compared to ram.
