On the contrary, Windows XP seems a little happier with 1024MB. As part
of an experiment (dual-channel memory speed) I *did* install 1GB - made
up of 2 x 512MB PC3200 modules. And I will readily admit that there is
probably no significant difference with day-to-day usage. However, when
I was editing a 160MB WMF file recently, the 1GB made a very noticeable
difference.
I still stand by the argument of having a swapfile in RAM. Try it -
then come back and comment.

Almost exclusively Windows XP Pro, but also Win2000, Win 98 (only when I
absolutely have to) and - more recently only - Linux (Mepis.)

Can't be Windows XP, right Al?

Odie; Describe how you set up a "swapfile in ram" on XP. I don't know
how. That makes it _real_ hard to try.

Buy a program like RAMDiskPro. Run it. Configure RAM disk size. Give
it a drive letter.
You may have established this won't work as a Windows swapfile, but for
any applications requiring a swap- or scratch-file/disk it is useful.

Which sizes are configurable? For instance 10-100 GB of RAM?
Any website or data for RAMDiskPro?
Runs also in Windows 2003 servers?

Get the free Ramdisk Sample Driver from microsoft.com. It supports up to
256MB, enough to figure out if Odie is right or wrong. There is another free
one out there.

Actually is doesn't matter if Odie is right or wrong because what I am looking
for needs more than 256 MB or 1 GB. DOS-based ramdisks offer up to 2 GB's which
isn't enought.
HD's are slow for testing installation and configuration. Making a test
installation takes almost hour and after only one change could require start
again from zero.
If same could be made in RAM timespan could be less than minute.
