Understanding Virtual Memory in Computers

Where are programs stored when they are being run by the CPU?

• ROM

• MOM

• REM

• RAM

Why is hard disk space considered cheaper than RAM?

• Because it can store more data byte-for-byte

• Because it is less complex

• Because it is more abundant

• Because it is slower

• Because it is free

What is the primary purpose of virtual memory in a computer?

• To increase the speed of the CPU

• To store more data than the physical RAM allows

• To replace the hard disk

• To enhance the graphics performance

Where is virtual memory primarily stored?

• In the CPU

• In the RAM

• On a USB drive

• On the hard disk

When a program is transferred from virtual memory back to RAM, what happens to the program currently in RAM?
