In article <523@public.BTR.COM> eeh@public.BTR.COM (Eduardo E. Horvath eeh@btr.com) writes: > Mac's and All versions of Windows have virtual memory run by software. The above statement is all false. Macs do not have virtual memory, unless you are running unix (a/ux). The mac os 7.0, which has been delayed twice already, *should* have virtual memory. About windows, only windows 3.0 has virtual memory and this feature is available only on 386-based machines. No xt, at or other 286-based machine can use virtual memory with windows 3.0. Virtual memory is not what you describe. Pick up any book on operating systems to find out what virtual memory is. -- Marco -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Xerox sues somebody for copying?" -- David Letterman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
