Thank you for your answer GOLD_MASTER. I understand that it's a chipset limitation/feature/spec which can not be overcomed/surpassed.
For people with similar issue; with different computers and different capacitiy demands...
- Install maximum amount of RAM allowed.
- Use an architecture of your OS capable of fully addressing it; 64 bits version.
- Replace your rotatioal HDD with an SSD.
- Define/set a huge pagefile/swap space. ("Two times the recognised memory" as minimum.)
