Problem

I want to see if there are speed improvements running Windows XP entirely from RAM, as Damn Small Linux (Would it be Damn Small Windows?). I've seen Windows XP running from Live CDs and from Flash drives, so I guess it's possible. Anyone seen this?

Low Risk

Gigabyte's i-RAM drive is probably your best bet for this. I experienced the BEST Windows interaction I have ever felt on that thing. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Storage/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2180
