From the MacWarehouse catalog:

	"Virtual 2.0 gives you the advantages of virtual memory -
	 with System 6.0.  Virtual memory uses your hard disk to expand
	 your RAM without adding memory chips to your Mac.  With
	 Virtual, you can have up to 14 megabytes of memory at your
	 fingertips.  Virtual is fast, offering performance comparable
	 to the usual hardware memory chips."



I seem to remember reading somewhere that System 7.0 will include a similar
utility.  Is this true?  And if so, how does it compare to the aforementioned
product?

And, is Virtual _really_ as fast as the ad claims?
