What if you want a lot of cycles but don't have a few million dollars to spend? Think Raspberry Pi. Robin Harris in Storage. Is there any way to use memory above 3. GB using Windows XPI'm running XP Pro SP3 on a 2. Core Duo machine with 4. GB RAM. I'm using that extra memory not available to XP for a ramdisk. I use a product called VSuite Ramdisk, from an outfit called Romex Software. VSuite is available in several different versions. The Free version does all I require.

It's a quick speedup. I do something similar under Linux by telling Firefox to put cache in /dev/shm. This is POSIX shared memory, and exists in RAM or swap, but not in the file system.> Dennis.
