All this is true, but like VM also RD slows down your computer's
performance considerably. Plus, it may conflict with certain extensions
and applications (esp. those configured to have their own virtual memory
management). Consider it as a last resort when your machine's physical
RAM cannot be extended any further.
Just my 2p after years of using the consecutive versions of RD.
