I have also been told that; but noone has ever suggested exactly how one
determines if it is being used or not. I noticed in both systems that since
the addition of the RAM the Windows resources meter shows proportionately
less system resources being used than previously (ie., more system's
resources available), which is one thing which I take as an indication that
the additional RAM above 512 is being taken into account. Since all my
heavy RAM use is with image editimg applications and they all use either the
swap file in Windows or theirown scratch files, it is difficult to determing
when they have stoped using actual RAM and switched over to virtual RAM.
Howver, you may be right; I just do not know how to tell.

Or maybe the extra RAM beyond 512Mb doesn't add any benefit, which is what
I have been told to expect.
