Memory management has the "Paging" section of this article. -Jhawthorn 21:57, 9 March 2007 (CST)

...and? Pull it to one article and link from the other? Merge the articles entirely? - Combuster 08:47, 11 March 2007 (CDT)
What about creating Paging and moving 'Virtual Memory' and 'Memory Protection' to it, along with creating a more in-depth article about paging in general? I think having Segmentation without Paging is a little uneven. Following that, this page could be deleted. --Alboin
Sounds OK to me. - Combuster 15:13, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
Done. --Alboin

This is really x86-specific, shouldn't a Paging article be more or less generic, with specific pages made for paging on x86 and other architectures? --pcmattman 03:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Really...

"Paging is a memory scheme that breaks up memory in groups of pages that are constantly swapped between hard disk and computer" - That is utter bullshit. It should be rephrased. Jal 19:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agreed and I've made a start on fixing it - a proof-read (and possible rewording) would be much appreciated. --Aj 17:09, 30 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Indeed much better. Perhaps I'd make it architecture neutral in the introduction, so at least the ring 3 reference should be avoided (or maybe with an added "on x86" or the like). Jal 11:16, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
