I've seen people posting previously that they used a ram drive for the 
swap file.  Wouldn't it be more efficient to tell windows NOT to use a swap
file in the case of a diskless station OR a crammed hard drive, and allow
windows to access 100% of the RAM as RAM?  I thought the whole purpose of
a swap file was to extend your RAM beyond what you actually have to store
idle applications, etc.  If you use your RAM for a RAM drive, you aren't
gaining anything and you are loosing flexiblilty.  That's what I think.
I could be wrong.  Please let me know if I'm missing something.
