Are you sure?

I'm fairly certain that your physical RAM limits how much you can read into a single memory segment. That is, if you want to read everything into a single variable, you'll need the physical RAM to do it. Virtual memory can only swap out what you aren't currently accessing.

Am I wrong on this?
