    @n1ckfg nope actually virtual in this case. modern OSes will lie to every process and give them a view of "all system memory" as their own, which is not physically true. processes cannot see each other's memory for security reasons.

      @n1ckfg in older OSes like DOS that could not multitask process memory more or less *was* physical memory, i believe. running a DOS program basically gave it control of the whole computer and all its resources -- including memory --aside from some basic OS background stuff?
