A question: Are 64 bit spaces being held back by hardware: complexity, fabrication, critical paths? Or software (what we used to call systems software): virtual memory operating systems that can give processes 64 bit virtual spaces at acceptable cost? E.g. without having to create 2 MB of resident page tables per process, allow something lazier instead. Anyone know which is the culprit here? -- Jon -- Jonathan Krueger jkrueger@dtic.dla.mil uunet!dgis!jkrueger The Philip Morris Companies, Inc: without question the strongest and best argument for an anti-flag-waving amendment.
