>>What is a Ram Drive? Isn't when you make a drive using part of your ram?
>>Could I put my Windows 95 swap file on it? Its it safe??
It's funny you should ask that because I recently had a user try to do just
that.
If you setup a RAMDISK, you can run programs on a "drive" you create in
memory.
The intention of a Windows95 Swap File it to use space on your Hard Disk as
"Virtual Memory" to augment actual memory on your system.
Trying to run your swap file on a RAMDISK totally defeats the purpose of the
Swap File being used as "Virtual Memory".
However, for someone not being familiar with the intention of a Windows95
Swap File, that's a pretty crafty idea.....trust me though, you don't wanna
try it.
