[nflug] ram swap fc4

[jb]

Works like a charm, Thanks Bob.
Thanks also Greg for the ram information, I wasn't too concerned with 
the little bit of unaccounted for ram, but if there was an easy way to 
tweak out a little more then it might be worth the effort.
I see now that I should just leave it alone or I might end up shooting 
myself in the foot.
Thanks guys...
