Top post corrected by unkmar >:(

Correction: ... And virtual memory.
Windows will cause the system to fake more and more memory until all the virtual
is gone as well.  At that point. Depending on your OS.  As in which version of
Windows.  You will either end up with a warning of low resources or an eventual
system crash.

All top posters should be lined up by a newly dug ditch.
Then the machine gun can let lose so the bodies just fall directly into the
massive
