Ironically, Microsoft offers a choice here.
In the registry (NT and W2K at least, don't know about XP:)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Session Manager\Memory Management
LargeSystemCache : REG_DWORD
0: prefer application code over cached data
1: prefer cached data
Also:
DisablePagingExecutive : REG_DWORD
1: don't allow kernel code to be paged out
IOPageLockLimit : REG_DWORD
controls the amount of memory that can be locked for I/O
