Indeed, you did mention this, and Sean agreed with you. But surprisingly, I noticed the difference even before I starting committing above 120 megs or so. Seems odd, huh? I don't understand it, but I'm pretty certain that it isn't just poor observation on my part. I wonder if NT starts drawing on excess RAM for a disk cache before it's visible as used in tskmgr or something?

(I got the RAM only because a client needed me to exchange a Comp USA NIC that he didn't have a receipt for, so as a compromise I got store credit (kudos to Comp USA, I'd say.) Bookkeeping was much easier if I bought something there, so I sprang for another PNY stick. Pretty impressive, actually--was Toshiba 10 NS memory that according to the abit page mentioned here before will do up to 112 mhz without a problem. Certainly fine here at 100 mhz.)
