Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Virtual memory uses a portion of the hard drive to temporarily store data that would typically be held in RAM. When the RAM becomes full, virtual memory can be used as a supplement to allow the system to continue running. However, because the hard drive is slower than RAM, using virtual memory can cause a decrease in overall system performance.
