Virtual Memory Size

Hi I just noticed that my VM size is 140.17 GB, is this normal? Also Im using SL. Thanks

Yup! VM size has nothing to do with actual memory used (denoted by the left column or the "Real mem" sorting column). For comparison, my VM is currently at 115GiB.

If you want more technical details, you can get a quick overview at Wikipedia.
