Re: W2K RAMlimits

Robert,
I fully agree with you!

It is too bad that you are not using a PC since then you could help us
figuring out how to get an efficient RAM based RAM-disk.

So while we are waiting for someone to help to figure out how to get tons
of RAM into a PC and create a RAM-disk, we might have to live with the
compromise of a PCI Solid state disk.
