Hi speed processing

Saw an article the other day about using a portion of ram as a HDD. Apparantly, that's how google search is able to process so fast. The technology is far from new, but I found an interesting software offering at this link. Anybody ever tried this? Either this software or the idea.

I'm using 30MB of ram as dedicated storage for IE temp files. It seems to work well, but I should increase the capacity.

I have a ramdrive in XP of 256k. Big enough for the temp folders. I also use it for program installs.
