virtual memory is not ram.
if ur ram is running low on free space what ur pc does is use ur hard drive instead of ram thats why its called virtual memory.

the page below gives a brief overview of it.

You can increase the virtual memory on your computer if need be.

It wouldn't hurt to add more RAM.  Your computer is going to use virtual memory when it's out of RAM.  And your hard drive is much much slower than your RAM.
