You fucking peasants.

Is this basically like a swap partition on Linux, or is this something else?

>>60133542
No, it's more RAM you fucking retard.

So why isn't it just swap

you fucking cuck, you could be getting 700MB of RAM for free

but dont forget you need cd-rw for this to work properly

It's a virtual memory page file on the hard disk, I don't think you can enable a partition as a page file for Windows.

>more RAM
Do you realize that if you don't have an SSD or the newer Intel Optane memory you're not getting more performance out of it? If I were you I'd feel like the retard if you use a mechanical drive.

So it's swap.

This depends heavily on your use case.
Swap is perfect when your application doesn't actually use what it allocates.

Speed of dual socket quad channel memory: 100GB/s
Latency: 20-50ns

Speed of HDD RAID/ SSD: ~300MB/s
Latency: 0.1-30ms

Is your application so brain dead that it needs to load gigabytes of unnecessary garbage into memory without using it?

Even then it's about 1/4th to 1/5th the speed of ram

yea, modern day systems seems a bit pointless. it worked wonders when i was a kid. My old Celeron laptop running vista could even run some of the first versions of minecrafts infdev

on another note i had remembered there was someone on a forum i was a part of after that laptop died, he had 3 usb sticks constantly in giving him 24 gigs to some sort of old system he was running

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT VIRTUAL MEMORY IS
