Hello,

my working PC has x32 bit windows. I managed to put 28 Gb or RAM but Windows sees only 3.5G.
That's fine for me since I was able to use "shadow memory" and allocate all remaining 24G to PrimoCache.
It works great so far - I really can feel the difference now.

However I am wondering - does PrimoCache caches Windows pagefile? Coz if not - may be it will be better to use Ramdisk (assuming it can use shadow ram as well) and move the whole pagefile to RAM disk?

Thank you.

From Support elsewhere on the forums:

Since you've added more memory to your system than Windows can see, it's probably time to upgrade the operating system. Better security, better compatibility with newer software, and more memory to give both Windows and Primocache. It's a win-win-win.

If you don't mind only accessing the memory via Primocache, then I'd still recommend shrinking your pagefile to a small static size (like 4096MB, 8192 at the most).

Thank you for the reply, Jaga.

Unfortunately it is a employer-provided PC so I can't do anything to change it.
Thanks anyway, with PrimoCache this PC could be used again!
