good question from what i have read it is something to do with graphics! so if you have many graphic hungry apps running and they run out of memory from your graphics card they can use the ram. But don't quote me on this will carry on reading up on it and come back with a definate answer soon!

vista help had this to offer:

Virtualization
Identifies whether User Account Control (UAC) virtualization is enabled, disabled, or not allowed for this process. UAC virtualization redirects file and registry write failures to per-user locations.


Totally useless!

Yeah so what does it do and does it affect the system performance?

i think its used to try and increase performance for graphics but yer your system will suffer as it will be using the ram when the video card memory fills up!
