Problem

I have a machine with 4G of RAM, but running 32bit windows 7, so can only see 3G. I have read somwhere recently that that unused 1G can be used as a RamDisk. Is this true? What sort of program allows that, and how does it address that gig of RAM?

No, This is because the processor does not know how to access the space. More detail on "why?" if you REALLY want to give it a shot
