Virtual memory is an important aspect of your system's performance. Virtual memory is simply a portion on Hard Disk reserved by RAM to assist it in its operations. That is why virtual memory is also called virtual RAM. If the virtual memory size is low then windows displays a message that 'Virtual memory is too low'.
