like 'SWAP' partition of Linux, Windows uses 'Virtual Memory'. you can increase the size of Virtual Memory.

and how do you use that swap???

Linux take care of SWAP usage. whenever it needs, it access SWAP space. i have 512 MB RAM and created 650 MB SWAP space. Linux never used more that 30% of SWAP space till now.

how do i create that virtual memory before windows is installed????

[devils casper]

you can't create it before installation. even Windows does not create separate partition. Windows uses random free space of Hard Disk and use it as swap. you can increase the size of Virtual Space quota after windows installation.

If the system is telling you that you need at least 64MB of RAM, then you should probably try to get extra RAM. It's not something you can work around with software - that's the minimum stated requirement. However if you are using only 32MB of RAM you are probably using PC66,PC100 or PC133 SDRAM. This is quite plentiful and cheap. If you can find out what you use you could pick some up on eBay for aonly a few quid.
