I am getting confused between three terms - swap file, page file and virtual memory. To my understanding, virtual memory is part of the hard-drive being utilized as memory because the actual physical memory is not enough. Is that right?
How can I allocate the sizes of each of these to optimize performance? My win98 hard-drive had no swap file (384 MB SDRAM), but all of a sudden some swap file showed up on the hard-drive when I checked it yesterday. What does it do? And how can I get rid of it?
I would appreciate it if somebody could point me to an informative article or something. Thanks.
