Multiple Select

When pages of data are moved between RAM and hard disk this is known as swapping or paging

What are the advantages of using part of the hard disk in this way?

1

Uses cheap secondary storage on the hard drive

2

Prevents error messages saying ‘out of memory’ – the programs and files will still open

3

To access data, the existing data in RAM needs to be copied to the virtual memory, then data in virtual memory needs to be copied to RAM

4

Accessing virtual memory is very slow
