In about a month, I'll be switching from an IBM PC to a Mac IIx. My question is this: In the PC world, I know of at least one program that lets you use a hard disk for virtual memory. I'm curious about how Macs handle virtual memory. Does the OS handle that already, or is there similar program for Macs?? I know Apple does things differently (namely the PMMU), but I have no idea how things are handled. I'd appreciate any info on this subject. If this question has an obvious answer I'll discover when I plug in my IIx, then I'd appreciate a net mail response anyway. Victor ------ Victor D.

I am considering buying a PMMU for virtual memory purposes.
I have a question though....
I have a Rodime 140 internal (~27 ms seektime).
Has anyone experienced the perfermance of a drive of this caliber?
If so....what's it like with virtual and a drive like this?
Is it acceptable, poor, good, awesome?
Would I only notice delays when changing programs or do things get
swapped more often?
Let me know what you've experienced...
