(Hey, you know if you used Virtual 2.0, you >could make it look like you had 8 Meg of RAM, and then use 2 of those >megabytes as a RAM cache! :-). Actually, if your disk cache is sufficiently small, and the amount of physical memory is sufficient large (I have 5MB), then you can actually benefit from using the RAM cache with Virtual, because the disk cache hits will be fairly frequent, while page swaps will be fairly infrequent.
