One trick is to write a simple block device driver which gives access to the slow RAM as a kind of RAM disk, then use it as a swap partition. ISTR there was a patch floating around years ago for those crappy Pentium motherboards (like mine) which only cache the first 64MB of RAM- it let you use the lower 64MB in preference to the high memory. -- ------- Alex Holden ------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ http://www.robogeeks.org/
