I'm doing this on XP but that group seems to be rather quiet

Trying to set up ramdisk swap file on 32 bit. Have
16 GB RAM. Gavotte version didn't seem to work. ImDisk
worked fine. But there's a catch. Virtual memory settings
show that I set up 3 GB virtual memory on the ramdisk,
drive R, but there's now a pagefile.sys on C drive that's
taking up 3 GB. Settings show no swap file for C drive.

Have you tried measuring speed? CrystalDiskMark shows quite
impressive numbers for RAMDisks. If it's a faux RAMDisk, numbers will
be much lower.

What does this mean? Did it fail? Or is C:\pagefile.sys
just a quirk that can't be avoided when setting up a
ramdisk swap file?

I have the same problem. Can't use anything above the 4GB
limit.
Currently using the last free version of SoftPerfect RAM
Disk(v 3.4.8) for my browser profile folder. It's very fast, saves the
image at shutdown, pretty stable (1 crash in 6 months, but I keep
backups).
I don't use it for a swapfile because I rarely need more than
1GB swap on XP.
If you ever find something that works above the "limit",
please post.

working setup.
