So glad he asked for you to find him links... oh that's right he didn't, why the fuck even bother to reply just so you can be assholes?
When your program needs to read or write data, it does it to the data stored in the RAM instead of to the HDD itself. If the file it wants to read/write to isn't currently held in the RAM, the computer throws a [b]pagefault[/b] error, telling the OS to drop fucking everything and put the right files into the RAM before the program can continue like nothing happened.
If you have more RAM, this obviously happens less often, and your OS predicts what files you will and won't need and puts them in and out of the RAM to prevent pagefaults
