Question	Answer
Generally, what is Memory Management and the Two Types?	> Allocates different parts of memory to each program, open file, etc. > Each of these parts may change in size whilst being used, thus the amount of memory they take up must be managed > This is done through paging or segmentation, which split the parts into smaller sections
What is Virtual Memory?	> Used when RAM is becoming full > Pages of inactive items in RAM are temporarily swapped to permanent storage to make room for active items > Due to the much slower speed of permanent storage, and the physical division, this can dramatically slow down the computer
