Computer Issues as of Lately - holyforest - 2011-07-18
Hi guys, I have an update. I'm working on getting new RAM as soon as I can, but money's tight right now, so it looks like that I will be getting it within the next few weeks. I also noticed something new today while on MS that I've never seen before, and it sounds like a completely new problem, so tell me what you all think. My computer said I was low on "virtual memory." I don't quite know what kind of issue this is.

Virtual memory is the computer tricking the program into running on what memory you do have, while the program thinks it's running in a lot more. It's how you can have multiple instances of programs at the same time without massive conflicts.
Regardless you either need more/new memory sticks or a new computer.
