virtual memory

[Roger payne]

can i speed up my computer by adding more virtual memory?

What does virtual memory do anyway?

if i use a 4th HD for all virtual memory does it help or
do i only have to use virtual memory on the HD with Win
XP installed on

i do alot of video editing i have a AMD XP 2800+ with 1.5
gigs of ram pc 2700 with 3 120G HD

Thanks

Not Found
The requested URL /win5/a/xpvm.htm was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Oh, yeah that helped immensely!
