A more common term for virtual memory is swap space. My new machine has 1GB of RAM and 1GB of swap. When there's plenty of RAM, just make a swap partition of the same size as the RAM unless there are special requirements.
Very interesting things happen with Gigabyte's RAMdisk card. When you install a RAMdisk card in your computer and configure it for swap, the RAMdisk essentially becomes the main RAM and the RAM plugged into the motherboard becomes a L3 cache.
I'd be interested in a RAMdisk card that plugs into a PCI-E slot. That could just become an interesting way to add RAM to a machine that is otherwise all filled up. Really nice for database servers, etc.

1GB = 1024MB (not 1000MB because of binary numbers)

If I was VirtualBox, I could load my virtualization module into Hannah and boot up another kernel in the same address space.
