This article suggests you create a ram disk and tell Windows to use that as a swap file. Faster than a hard drive, but slower than regular memory access.

PAE works just fine, but there are caveats that even this method won't fix: There is still a hard limit for how much ram any single program can use. This is a limitation of a 32bit OS that neither PAE or the above suggestion will get around.

If you honestly have need for more than 4Gb of ram, you should use a 64bit OS. There simply isn't any good reason not to these days.

.. remember simplicity, logic, ease of use mean nothing.


Not if they come at the expense of you know, actually getting the job done.

 Just market the thing like crazy and the sheeple will buy it up without even thinking.


Sheeple? You actually wrote that?

Sheeple mean Sheep People. I'm referring to the average Joe who buys the most marketed product he's heard of as opposed to doing some research first.


I'm well aware of what it means, I was asking if you'd actually written that.

The last time I saw that word used in a non ironic context was when dealing with loonspud conspiracy theorists.

Make of that what you will.
