I'd say it's something like 80% because of the inherent weakness of Windows to support a large swap file and use all the available memory (I haven't tried the 64bit version, so I cannot tell) - I ended up creating 5 different swap files of the maximum size and using strange hacks to make more memory available (like using an obscure program from VC++ to change some bits in the exe file header). > I'd recommend to use a Linux system if you have that option.

I must second that: if you really need to use Windows, you can simply install it on your dedicated machine using VirtualBox and it will run happily. Making it a main OS on the training machine is not the best idea.
