more RAM

(I hope this is the right place to post this...)

Does anybody know how to turn harddisk memory into RAM? I know there are ways to turn RAM into virtual harddisks, but if anybody knows, please help me out. Thanks...

Yeah this is called virtual memory and Windows XP does it automatically.

Yah, I know about that, but it doesn't seem to do a lot; or am I just lacking the knowledge of how to use it...

It's not usually a setting that needs tweaking. Let Windows take care of it. Otherwise, get more real RAM.

I've read setting the page file on a secondary HD can help performance since HD's can only do 1 thing at a time?

Even though that is one way to go about it you can just right click on MyComputer select properties under advanced in performance click settings under advanced go to change and that's where you set your virtual memory.
