hi everyone, okay here goes

i was just doing a scan for bad stuff and i was going through the help and support thing for windows and came across virtual memory.
after reading through it i had an idea, but not really sure so doing research.

okay i have 513mb of ram. and that doesn't seem to be enough, i also have a 8 gig scuzy(i know thats not how its spelled) drive.
1. what can virtual memory do if i set it up on the scuzy?
2. how hi can i set the virtual memory?(found the answer to that one) what effect will it have?
3, i know virtual memory will probly not be as effective as real ram but what kind of performance can i expect?
4. and what are some pros and cons?
