Does hyper-v use ram?

Hyper-V itself needs about 300 megabytes of memory for its own process. For each virtual machine, any memory amount up to the first megabyte requires 32 megabytes of overhead. Every gigabyte past the first incurs another 8 megabytes of overhead.

Can i use 1.35 v ram instead of 1.2 v?
It should work just fine. However if the system already has 1.2v ram installed this could be the power limit. As long as you don't perform any overclocking on the 1.35v ram it should have no issues.

Why is hyper-v so fast?
This design means that Hyper-V has less overhead for maintaining and managing devices and services that are not dependent on the hypervisor. This makes Hyper-V fast and scalable, as it directly accesses the hardware and does not need to load drivers and services during initialization.
