Precisely! Virtual memory has become almost superfluous with such large

Backing a 64-bit address space without a swapping or paging file requires
17,179,869,184 gigabytes of RAM, so virtual memory isn't likely to become
superfluous any time soon.


nonsense. 64 bit address space can address *significantly* more memory
than 16 gig, which actually is not that much these days. you are going
to have swap if you do anything major with your computer, even with
that much memory.
