great vista tweak

Well I tried to upgrade to 8 gigs of ram but stuck with 4, unless I get entirely new ram (single channel)...but even with 4 Vista runs pretty smooth!  I was playing with NVtweak and in advanced they have an option to put your windows system into memory instead of running off disk....  All I have to say the difference is instantaneous, and seems much much snappier!  (I have 4 gigs of dual channel corsair ram 2x2 I need to put on Ebay, btw, if anyone wants any).

Also if you have Race Driver Grid: be sure to download the third party launcher, because it lets you run in a window, as well as has options to use all 4 cpu cores instead of the default 1, and also lets you set it to real time priority.  Grid was already by far the best looking game I have, with super fast frame rates, with everything maxed out.  So I can't really tell the difference, but I guess psychologically it matters! :)   Unreal Tourney 3 also another super fast-frame rate game.
