Size of memory page is architecture and operating system dependant. On an x86 and x86_64 hardware, memory page is equal to 4KB. On an Intel Itanium (IA64) memory page size is 16KB.

You can get the actual value on your Linux/UNIX system with the '''getpagesize'''-Syscall. Here is a C Program that prints the pagesize on your system :

#include <unistd.h>

#include <stdio.h>

return 0;

}
