+ Keep a register for each of the page, store system clock in that register onto each memory reference.
+ To select page for placement, scan through all pages to search the one with the oldest clock.
+ Hardware costs would have been unaffordable in the early days of paging; also, costly to scan all pages throughout replacement.
