I actually read that Windows reserves a lot of memory that it's not actively using (perhaps another reason why it needs more memory to begin with) and that it's caching system is not as hot as Linux's.

Being a layman, when surfing the net it's hard to differentiate between well-founded truths and urban myth hogwash.
