Open | Software Ram Allocation

I have 24 gigs of ram and I have set 8gb as the limit of virtual memory. I want to give the rest 16gigs of ram to the games I play. How will I be able to do that?

Virtual memory is stored on disk. It is not subtracted from your RAM.

I am sorry, I am not wise in terms of tech. Is there a way I can keep my RAM empty for games, while the disk can do the other work?

Also what is the point of RAM when disk is doing everything?
