Internal Memory of Ram and its types

 

Hello there,

Well the virtual memory is actually the storage space that is on your hard disk. When the computer runs low in the random access memory (RAM) it automatically compensates it with the virtual memory  to help the program run and complete its job.

When the RAM runs low, the virtual memory moves data from the ram to a space called a paging file. This frees up the space in the RAM in order to complete its work. There are four types of virtual memory. They are: RAM, hard disk flash and read only memory. That was a brief explanation about virtual memory, hope it helped you.

Internal Memory of Ram and its types

Virtual Memory is a temporary space on your hard disk  when a computer lacks the random access memory (RAM) required to run a program or operation. If programs running on your computer lacks the real physical memory, operating system grabs a mass of unused hard drive space to create virtual memory.

Basically, it enlarges the amount of memory  that a program can operate. So technically, the program will run faster if you have more RAM in your computer otherwise you can increase virtual memory to satisfy, thus increasing RAM is better. 

Thank you so much for taking time to read and hope it helps!
