- Can a virtual PC increase your MG?

What exactly does a virtual machine do?
I thought it increases your hard drive space and you can have a game or
program larger in virtual memory!

I'm not sure if you're confusing Virtual Machine with Virtual Memory here.
A virtual machine is: "a software implementation of a machine (computer)
that executes programs like a real machine."
Virtual memory: "is a computer system technique which gives an
application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory"

Thats right. Virtual PC (machine) uses "memory" so as to create a
new PC which can use a different operating system. Uses more RAM and
more hard drive space since you need RAM and disk storage for every
"virtual PC" configuration.

If a virtual machine could increase hard drive space, hard drive
manufacturers would go out of business.

That was uncalled for, Mr. MVP. Show a little respect to those who haven't
yet earned that title.
Bad argument. Drive manufacturers aren't terribly worried about winzip,
winrar, gzip, NTFS compression, etc, and that's what they actually do (well,
indirectly, but the result is the same)...

No, you are apparently confusing a virtual machine with virtual
memory. The two are entirely different.
