Can anyone help me with this question i came across. I dont seem to find the answer for it.: Can an application or device driver specify if it will use physical memory or the swap file for it's data? Why or why not?

Thank you.

I wouldn't have thought that was really an A+ question, but I could be wrong.
However, apps *can* (but rarely do) ask for physical memory, and drivers *often* do. The reason that drivers do is that a device driver needs to be fast - and waiting for the data to be paged in isn't fast!

Thank's a lot.
