Q. A memory management technique that uses hard drive space as additional RAM
Solution:
- Virtual memory provides the illusion of having more physical RAM (Random Access Memory) than is physically available in the computer.
- Virtual memory works by using a designated area on the hard drive called the “page file” or “swap space” to store data that is not currently in use.
- Virtual memory helps prevent applications from running out of usable memory, reducing the likelihood of system crashes or slowdowns caused by insufficient RAM.
