  You have far more memory than you ever need.  Therefore, it is
never really necessary for swapping to occur; you can safely turn off
virtual memory in the control panel.

  You may be able to speed up some tasks by using a RAMdisk instead
of a hard disk.  Swapping, though, shouldn't be one of them; if you
need to swap, the spare RAM you're using for a RAMdisk isn't, by
definition, really "spare".
