- When I installed System 7.1 recently I noticed something unusual about
- the virtual memory...
-
- I have a Mac IIci with virtual memory chugging away with 12 MB being
- used on e hard drive. 32-bit addressing is turned off -- always.
- Whenever VM is turned on, the System Software apparently requires an
- additional 400K or so to accommodate the VM. I noticed this
- immediately after installing System 7.1 and turning on virtual memory;
- no other INITs had been added -- just those that came with System 7.1.
-
- Does that seem right? I don't remember VM under System 7.0.1 tuned
- requiring 400K RAM to run properly...
-
- Just a curious observation...
