I'm guessing the 200 MB is needed because it mentions sound files and end game movies and other such things that will be large.

What Ted said! 
Look, I am no technical genius but I do seem to recall issues w/ certain files in the past where my VM couldn't handle the load. Of course I had a 486 at that time w/ about 64MB of VM. |
ok maybe i wasnt clear, virtual memory is a fancy word that really indicates a file known as a page file in windows NT/XP. It can be set to a certain amount in system properties, but since it is a file and its on the hard drive, it does take up space....
need i say more??? |
Yes, very true. But saying "HD space is virtual memory" is not right. HD space *can be used* as virtual memory is more accurate.

Ah a MIS Q,
Yes hd is NOT virtual memory, however virtual memory ammount can be assigned from avaible hard drive space.
