There is an 8 meg limit on Virtual, but not because of hardware or Virtual.

The current version of the Mac OS (6.0.3) can't deal with more than 8
megs...  A/UX can, but (I believe) it has virtual memory in it (have to,
I guess).

Support for >8megs should be in 7.0... and possibly an INIT or other piece
of software that does what Virtual does in an Apple-sanctioned way.

In short: there is no use for Virtual if you already have 8 megs.
