Good afternoon...



Has anyone attempted to use a RAM Drive to speed up programs by loading entire files into memory (RAM drive), so that, the reads/writes are executed in memory instead of to hardware drivers?

Win2000 and XP, however, don't seem to support the original Microsoft RAM Disk drivers. We found a great (and free) one [url=http://users.compaqnet.be/cn181612/RAMDisk/RAMDisk.htm]here[/url].
