Ram Drives were very popular and feasible in past years when processors, bus
speeds were much slower.
With today's faster processors and buses very few folks bother with RAM
drives anymore.

Sorry, I meant to say have the hard drive files mirrored in RAM. <S>
I did try vRamDir but cannot get it to work. It seems perfect for system
tests and large explorations. They would happen in a second with no hard
drive access.

If you mirrored the RAM to your hard drive, it would remove the
purpose of having a RAM DRIVE in the first place. In fact, it would
make your scans slower than using no RAM DRIVE at all. LOL.
