I think your friend was referring to the windows swap file for virtual
memory settings.  Under NT and Unix, it is sometimes called the page or
paging file.  Historically, page refers to a contiguous block of memory, and
for a given system, all pages are the same size.  The last time I had to use
pages was in the old DOS environment, and pages were 16384 bytes of ram.
Under 32bit programming (windows) its just a holdover name convention.

        Would someone elaborate either themselves or through an appropriate
website
the subject matter?  A friend has referred to the phrase and I can't find
much of anything useful on the web about it.
