One other thing VM does for you is that it will page directly out of an (fat or PowerPC) application's data fork. This means when you run an application with VM on, only the specific code you're using has to be loaded into memory, the rest of it won't be loaded until it's needed. With VM off, the whole application has to be loaded when you start the application. This is why when you do a Get Info on an application and look at the memory allocated to it, it will say something like "This application will require <n>K more if your turn virtual memory off." (with VM on). Brian -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
