There is another way to increase program speed and decrease memory usage on a 32 Bit Windows machine.
Remove the bloat.
Run a dos or early windows program on a high end machine.  The results are amazing. Functionally and in basic usage there's not a lot of difference between some programs with conterparts from the early 90s yet the ones from the 90s are 1 tenth the size and 50 times faster.  As we develop new and faster ways to develop there's a proportional drop in performance and increase in size. When they invented DLLs they didn't mean for them to actually contain as much bloat as a real Library.

Did you all read the aracticle all way through ?????
 
Even with a 64bit OS it goes on to say that 8G is the sweet spot and there is still an advantage if you have anymore than this to assign it to a ram disk and put swap file/temp files there.
 
And yes Windows is a good OS, if you cant see that then blinkers much


I have no problem with Windows.  Ive used it constantly in my work and at home since 3.0 and 3.11. Before that DOS.  Yes I'm old.
But just the ring of "8GB is the sweet spot" makes me laugh.  Just think how much end user data would be in 8 GB.  We are talking encylopedias of information.  
Efficiency is the key in everything we do.

Learn to be efficient we must ... yeessss... or die out we will......  hmmmm.
