got just under 2GB for Internet browsing, frap`s snapshots and anything else for a working environment.

Final Conclusion
it does seem to be an answer to, "the lazy man`s guide to not defragging so often."
Whilst getting better performance, but this depends on your memory speed`s and timings.
Web Browser does indeed seem faster, but is still tide to "Internet traffic", and its weird not hearing the HD
Gaming well, still testing.
Anyhoo I've done my geek experiment for the week
