I have 16GB RAM now with my WinXP3 PC. It also boots to Linux, where I can use all the RAM, but XP, where I still spend most of my time, is limited to 4GB.
I know there are hacks to increase that, but I doubt the apps I use would be improved.
But space is getting tight on my boot SSD, and I do have a 2GB pagefile. So:
1) Do I actually need a pagefile?
2) If I do, can this be put into "high RAM", in the 12GB WinXP can't use anyway?
EDIT: found this suggestion on Reddit that seems promising.:
