I want to learn:

about virtual memory.
What is under user address space 0x0 - 0x7fffffff.
What is the stack, heap, working set and all other things in virtual memory.
How processes and threads use the memory.
How memory is allocated for every process and how it is shared between other processes, what is shared and not shared.
What is copied in the memory when an exe file is run. (because I won't run if I copy it from memory , that means that it isn't the same format).
About memory regions I found in CE and security options. (read/write execute and others).
what is the base address and why everytime I run an application it is starting at the same virtual address.

I need documentation for these questions with real examples and memory charts, addresses and bytes, because everything I found is very general and I can't unserstand the reason why some things exist and what they do.

Windows Internals is probably the best you will find for Windows machines.

You can also download and read through the Intel/AMD chipset information PDFs on their respective sites.

Other then that just use Google. There is a lot of free material on the web for all subjects covering computer systems. You can find most of what you are asking for, for free.

Ok thank you, I will start learning now because it seems very useful to understand this stuff, as every program in windows runs this way... I think that these are the basics to cheat a game and understand its functionallity.

EDIT: Well I searched a little bit more and found another interesting book, WIndows Via C/C++, it explains very well the virtual memory, not the system mechanisms but more at programming level, I think this one is more interesting for cheating Smile

If you want to actually learn things, you're better off using books. A lot of which you can probably find online in ebook form for free depending on where you look.
