Refer to this chapter for information
on programs designed for Power
Macintosh computers
Using Power Macintosh application programs
Your Power Macintosh is compatible with most software programs intended
for use with Macintosh computers. But certain programs are designed
especially for Power Macintosh computers. You’ll find that these programs
take best advantage of your computer’s speed.
Special memory requirements
Some Power Macintosh programs may be slightly larger than other programs,
and may take up more memory. If you find that you are running out of
memory when you use your Power Macintosh programs, you can use space
on your computer’s hard disk as additional memory. This feature is called
virtual memory. See “Using Hard Disk Space As Memory” in the Macintosh
Reference.
You can also add more memory to your computer as described in Chapter 5
of this book.
