Turns out the status quo of Linux memory management somehow works pretty damn okay, nobody seems to really know why, and nobody cares.
For me I loved the challenge of squeezing out a few extra k of lower memory. My autoexec.bat had four hundred lines in it.
I miss those days honestly. There's really not much practical benefit to overclocking anymore, even broke college kid level devices come with at least 8 gigs of ram.
8.... gigs... of ram... and ALL of it treated like lower memory... Could you imagine that in the mid 90s? I'd be thinking star trek.
