Thanks for broadening my horizon, esp. that first link was extremely interesting!

I guess my mental model on this was just lacking/simply wrong.

I find this stuff super fun to learn about. My knowledge is far from complete but the more you know, the more pedantic you can be about things like 'virtual memory' and the misnomer of setting the min/max page file to 1.5*RAM (was used to ensure full memory dumps, not for performance).

If you want to know more, grab the book Windows Internals.
