"Hey, did you ever use that utility that stole VRAM and used that to eliminate some swapping?" (Of course, it might not have been VRAM at the time... perhaps it used some other clever video-related tricks.)

Just for fun, I did some Googleing tonight, trying to find the apps name, or anything, and picked up nothing. My question to the lazy-web: am I getting things confused here, or was there really a utility that did this? Maybe a Hack of some kind?
