Hi, I don't know too much about consoles (for starters). If consoles have no or small amounts of vitrual memory, how are they capable of running large programs like a game? [edited by - snowball123 on January 15, 2003 7:59:06 PM] [edited by - snowball123 on January 15, 2003 7:59:41 PM]

No consoles have no virtual memory. Where should it be? All except Xbox has no harddisk to put it.

So the result is to *really* focus on keeping memory usage down.
