in the realm of windows, vm is a very important thing. we just call it a

swap file. windows 95, 98, nt, 2000 and prolly ME manage it for you beind

your back so you don't know it's there with out looking.

you can set it yourself how big it can get, how small and even which hard

drive it's on (you can speed it up by having windows use another physical

harddrive also)

basically, when you're doing something in windows and it's grinding the

harddrive (other than opening something or saving something) it's writing

the the swap file.
