news With Windows 7 and 8 I never use less than 8GB. 16GB if you're doing
anything more than just word processing or emails.


Does that mean you only use 64bit OSs ?

Uses a third party utility to let 32 bit Windows 8 see all the RAM and
then use it as a RAMdisk with the swapfile on it?


Which utility might that be ?


It's as real as the need for 8 Gig of RAM to do more than e-mail or word
processing.

However....

Claims it has been done for Windows 7.
