Problem

After reading this question I started thinking: "Hey, what happened to those RAM disk utilities we used to run in the ol' DOS days?" I haven't heard about RAM disks for years until today, but why? Memory is still faster than disk and we have a lot of both. Why aren't RAM disks more in use today?
