If you are running XP you can also a boot.ini /3GB switch which as I recall changes the 2GB/2GB System/Apps allocation to 1GB/3GB. A bit useful if you have memory hungry programs

My CAD system at work is running this and showing 1.4GB of swapfile usage at the moment. It get's worse when rendering stuff out as well.
