i've been reading the FAQ, and i'm confused.. what is paging, and what
is virtual memory? i know that they're both involved in allocating
memory, but what is what? is virtual memory actually disk space being
used as memory? what is paging?? and if i try to access what's left of
my 16 megs of installed memory under win95 and go over it, does it try
to use the HD as the rest of the mem?? am i completely wrong??? can
someone help me here??? thanks! email & news, pleeze!
