Look for IRAM. Not worth it but you can plug 4 gigs in there and install a operating system. Jim R

You'd have to fool a few things. See the barts and ubcd4win stuff. They have a way to setup a ramdrive so that the c drive is the ram drive. We used to do that all the time in dos, still do in linux. It was a great way to make the system seem much faster. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
