    RAM Disk....

    Any1 else use one?

    Got 2Gig of RAM in this machine so disabled the swap file (cos windows uses it even when it dont need to..tut!) and created a RAM Disk.

    Set your temp storage and internet cache etc to use this.

    Result = no access to the hard drive unless needed as everything is in RAM.....

    WOOOOOOOOSH! :lol:

    nah - that just stops windows writing stuff to the swap file.

    your temp storage/web cache etc still goes to disk (check your rnvironmental variables)
