I haven't tried doing it--and I wouldn't, unless I had a veritable
*buttload* of memory. If you use up all of it putting Windows on a RAM
disk its sort of self-defeating because Windows will immediately start
swapping to disk.
Then there's the time of when you boot up, copying everything to the
RAM disk, and when you're done, re-copying everything back to the hard
drive before shutdown (otherwise you'd lose all modifications in .INI files,
etc.).
Too much trouble, if you ask me...
