That's what I did back then - put my swap on the ramdisk. I'm not really sure it was faster, but it was fun
Fun is why you do it. Measuring speedup tends to be a complex issue.

Which software can recognize the 4th GB? I have Win 7 Pro, 32 bit and PAE should be supported in the architecture of my CPU (Intel Core Duo).
If you are running 64bit Win7, pretty much everything should see it.

One ramdisk that is supposed to see and use extra memory under 32bit Windows is Superspeed's: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php

In my case, it's a motherboard limitation hamstringing me.
