VirtualMemory 1759321620

Virtual memory is a memory management technique that allows operating systems to present a large block of memory to applications, even with limited physical memory. It utilizes both RAM and disk storage to load only necessary parts of programs, enabling efficient multitasking and larger applications. The management of virtual memory involves hardware and software components, including the Memory Management Unit (MMU), and can improve system performance but may also introduce risks such as slower performance and potential data loss.
