This is not a limitation of Virtual, but rather of the current Mac OS which can only address 8 Megs. (My go, did I just say "only 8 Megs", my first machine had 16k). Anyway, when (and if) Apple releases a full 32 bit OS, then Connectix claims they will write a version that will give you as much virtual memory as you want (up to, what is it, 4 Gigs?).
