Could you be a little more specific about what you want to achieve, 
as there are several issues with virtual vs. physical RAM as well as 
with "RAM" that is only available via a Bus, like Video-RAM.

All that can be very different.

What ? Getting nonswappable RAM ? if it has mlock and it returns sucess,
you should have nonswappable RAM. Don't know for Windows.
