Question about invisible memory

Hi
I have read about using unused memory as cache if you have a 32 bit operating system.
I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit operating system.
It only uses up to 16GB of memory even if more is installed.
So if for example 24GB is installed, could I use the unused 8GB as invisible memory for caching purposes?

Thanks

Normally, PrimoCache can find the unmanaged memory of 8GB and use it for caching purpose. But because Invisible Memory feature is kind of related to hardware devices, you'd better to try first before purchase.

Thanks for the reply.
I do not have the extra memory yet. I was thinking of buying it if it would speed up my computer a lot & useful when I update my OS. Another thought is using unused memory in graphics cards. I have a gtx 670 used for cuda based stuff only, rarely more than 200 MB of the 2GB memory is used. I understand it is very fast and uses a 8 GG/s interface PCI express 8x 3.0. Is that possible?

Thanks

I'm sorry that so far the program cannot use unused memory from graphics cards.
