Internet Speed up Trick I want to know how to do...

This is very interesting. I want to know is there any down side of doing this, and if not then why doesnt this come standard in windows?

First, you need RAM. So you need spare RAM. And w/e you d/l you must actually save to a HD b/c upon shutdown it's all lost. Second, what if you wanna d/l a game demo? You will need to d/l to a larger drive.

The first computer I ever used was a Mac about 5 years ago and it was common knowlege to create and use a Ram disk to increase your browsing speed.

I have a 256 meg ramdisk, on XP, with 1 gig of RAM.
I stick all sorts of things in it. Software installs, temp, temp internet, and also use it as a virtual DVD and SVCD.
No noticable slowdowns, and is usually much faster at most things than the hard drive.
