The biggest drawbacks to a ram drive are size and the fact that it wont tolerate a reboot. The size limit of 32MB is a big drawback. In the days of dos/windows, a ram drive would work so long as the user loaded the ramdrive on start-up.
I seem to remember a software proggie that exceeded the 32MB limit but i`ll have to search it out and see.
Remember, a ram-drives contents are erased on reboots or resets.
