I would like to set up a RAM disk in Windows XP. I have 1.5 GB of RAM, and
for certain applications, I want to allocate 500 MB to a temporary RAM drive.
There used to be a nice utility (I think called ramdrive.sys) that did this
in DOS. Is there still something like this available for XP? If so, where?

Thanks
 
Thanks for the links. Too bad they cost $$. Note to Microsoft - please put
this back into the OS where it belongs. It used to be there - why was it
removed?
 
If you had Googled, as I said to do, you would have found comments about
using RAMDRIVE from previous Windows versions.

I'm guessing its because except for a few small exceptional cases, a ramdisk
in Windows XP will cause more problems than it solves.
