Why do we need virtual memory?

Question

So my understanding is that every process has its own virtual memory space ranging from 0x0 to 0xFF....F. These virtual addresses correspond to addresses in physical memory

Answer 1

The main purpose of virtual memory is multi-tasking and running large programmes. It would be great to use physical memory, because it would be a lot faster, but RAM memory is a lot more expensive than ROM.

Good luck!
