WTF, virtual memory is not the space on disk, literally. Its a non-existing memory. whenever a process asks for memory which is virtual, OS checks for available memory on RAM[primary memory] and allocates if its available there and if its not available then it has to swap some other process'[that is sitting idle] memory to make room for this one. Look here to know more:
