Why not make a ramdisk, and then use it for swap?
having swap is very good. But having it on RAM will
make things faster, dont u think? I dont think all of
1GB could be used, given today's linux apps. Dont
quote me on this even after an year! I do remember
when i thought i wont be needing more than 1M of RAM!
;-) Windows'll lap it all up considering its bloaty
code! ;-)

The LBA mode can access only 8.4G of space, i think
u'll have to put it on Large disk access, to get Linux
identify the whole thing...
