Just saw this on SuperSpeed's website for their RAMDisk application:

Quote:RamDisk Plus 9 has a most unique feature. Our patent pending technology can access memory beyond the limitation imposed by a Windows 32-bit operating system! In other words, RamDisk Plus 9 can use "unmanaged" Windows' memory e.g. above 4GB. It can also use the stubbornly inaccessable memory between 3.2GB and 4GB.

See the product's help file for detailed explanation of what "unmanaged" memory is and how to access and use it with RamDisk Plus 9.

Really unsure how it exactly works, but sounds interesting.  Also interested if other applications are able to do something similar.
You're unlikely going to be able to use all of your RAM as memory, since 32-bit addressing, after all, can only address 4GB's of memory, but if the extra RAM can be addressed differently (ie like a disk/RAMDisk) you could put some use to that extra RAM on your 32-bit Windows (or 64-bit Windows running the /maxmem=4096 switch).

For ideas on what you could use for your RAMDisk, you can see this thread: http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthr...?tid=15351

Haven't tested this app myself yet, so IDK how well it works.  But just putting it up here if anyone's interested.

Just tried on my XP x64 setup (with /maxmem=4096), and I can't get it to work.  Gives me a "Unable to set unmanaged memory properties. Code: 1" error when I try to allocate unmanaged memory :(

Could it be because you have 64bit..Should I try on my 32bit later?
