Subject: [9fans] Virtual memory & paging
Date: Mon,  4 Feb 2002 10:01:12 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20020204100112.0099d5d8@pop3.clear.net.nz> (raw)

I seem to remember some one saying here a while back that virtual memory
and paging were quite distinct, whereas I'd always vaguely assumed they
were the same thing. Could some one explain the difference to me, or point
me in the direction of enlightenment? The issue came up in a friend's job
interview recently, and he wrongly assumed the same as me.

Thanks
