Virtual Mmemory- USing ur hardisk as ram??

[revenge2]

Hello there is using your hard disk as ram beneficial?? does it skrew up the pc? How do you do it because i would like to allocate 2gigabytes of my hard drive to this

yes you are actually supposed to do this because that way if you run alot at once the system can just move things that aren't being used but are still running into the virtual memory

however, virtual memory is way slower than ram, so you should, if you can, upgrade your ram instead of relying on the vm.
