For reference to the "Virtual" memory, I strongly suggest not disabling it on one
fact, that there are a lot of applications that actually rely on virtual memory to
function, one being Photoshop for example, but if you think none of your programs
actually access it then you are safe to do so. Virtual memory like someone mentioned
previous is only accessed when needed by windows or other applications.
