How to have faster loading times ?

[Starforge]

I'd like an option to tell Windows not to page stuff out until more memory is asked for and not available, if anyone knows...

Windows and garbage collection - you would think they would have figured out how to clean it up after all these years. OS/2, Novell, Linux all do / did a better job of it but /shrug. Maybe someday (though MS still blames the apps I'm sure.)

Edit - sorry just woke up and no coffee - I addressed something you weren't really saying. I don't know of any apps that will force it to keep things in memory.

We can all agree that 2GB of RAM would work wonders, especially with the latest types of OS. 3GB might be even better;

I plopped 4GB in mine for overkill and a quad which pretty much nothing is going to use for a while anyhow. Made me feel good though
