curprev 04:1804:18, 3 January 2024 Guy Harris talk contribs 43,409 bytes +57 →Main memory the same size as virtual memory: Don't talk about "4GB", except in the example, as that's specific to 32-bit virtual and physical addresses. I'm not sure what the third paragraph was intended to discuss, but the only way the virtual address space matters is for memory-mapped files, so discuss mapping regions of a file that wouldn't fit in its entirety into the address space. undo
