!4 Gig (in other words, yes, limited by disk space)

!Sure seems that way, but, it's not like we didn't know (or beg for)
!Apple would implement virtual memory.  I'm still waiting for word on

I just finished reading my June Macworld and there is an article about 
memory expansion possibilities for the macII*'s and there is no mention
of virtual memory being implemented in system 7.0.  In fact the author
advocates people buy the Virtual init and PMMU (if applicable) as a way to
expand mac memory!  Of course he quotes the price of SIMMs as being about
$265 per 1M so I guess this article must have been written some time ago
and only published recently.  Why do I susbscribe to such outdated info 
sources? {8-)
