  Now people are claiming that 2 Gigabytes means you don't need virtual
memory.  I'd like to point out that while it probably would mean that your
program can be completely in main memory, you (at least I) would still want
the wonders of segmentation (read-only, shared, bounds checks).  Moreover,
it allows you to not page the entire program into memory from disk.  (Which
could be expensive and needless for my 1 Gigabyte program (:-)).
