I've read a little bit about this, using Google, like here
http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2431&p=5
but I fail to grasp the point. As you say, why not buy more Ram and then use it
as a software Ram-drive (For Endgametablebases for instance). Or is that limited
by the processor's address-space or something? I'm no expert...
