One of my friends showed me an option where you can designate a certain amount of HD space to be used at RAM.
In the beginning, I had 512mb of ddr pc3200 ram and like 700mb of hard drive space used as ram. In the task manager,when I was around like 500mb of ram used, it was like almost half way up the little scale that they have.
He upped the HD space to 2500 mb, and now when I look in the Task manager, if I have 500mb used by processes, it barely goes up 1/5th of the way up the scale.
Can somebody explain what this means exactly, or how this works, because it seems taht I just have more ram to work with, but that cant be...
