> Thus, I would argue that if the OS provided some functionality to move allocated pages in and out of the 32 bit address space of a process to enable the process to use more than 4 GiB of memory ... Oh, no. Back then the segmented memory model was still remembered and no one wanted a return to that. PAE wasn't seen as anything but a bandaid. Everyone wanted big flat address space. And we got it. Because it was the obvious choice, and the silicon could support it, Intel or no. |
