This isn't an advantageous feature, the Mac OS can do this since years, 
but its something to avoid under any circumstances. As soon the OS start 
swapping, you're in trouble performance wise...

And real RAM is cheaper than Vista nowadays... I run my Ondes 
Memoreilles happily with 768 MB of RAM without swapping, I stick 9*90 
seconds of loops into it... (It's OS X though, not XP)
I'll even wait to buy more RAM till I really need it, probably with the 
next computer...
