    Default More RAM - how to utilize?

    All possible mentioned in "Top performance tips" I did long ago. Including Postgre tuning, turning off indexing and other.
    Added RAM in laptop. Now it has 2Gb (WinXP SP3).
    When running HEM and multitabling, it was 90% RAM occupied - now 40% only.
    As a result, HEM filters (and other features) became really faster.
    Moved IE cache and Temp folder to 200Mb Ramdisk - no more read\write on HDD tons of files when web-browsing etc.
    That is good.
    Question is - how to make even better?
    What can I do to effectively utilize this LOT of empty RAM?

    Can you explain the '200MB RAMdisk' part of your post ? I don't know what you mean & maybe I should try it on my XP laptop

    There may be things you haven't thought of here:
    TweakHound - Windows XP
    (paging file size & location for example)

    & here:
    Windows XP x86 (32-bit) Service Pack 3 Service Configurations by Black Viper
    (take care to write down what changes you make though)
