Virtual Memory

Doesn't Windows define virtual memory = physical + paging ?

Then more physical ram will also increase the virtual memory counter.

Virtual memory is just that, virtual. What you may be referring to is the size of the virtual memory, as it does get larger/smaller with the amount of physical RAM that is installed.

TotalVirtualMemorySize

Number, in kilobytes, of virtual memory. For example, this may be calculated by adding the amount of total RAM to the amount of paging space

They probably do that, because applications cannot see the difference.
