The problem is the creation of the ramdisk. All the software to do so that I'm aware of needs an OS loaded to work, and the RAMDISK can not load on it's own to boot windows.

Like Duckieho linked on the first page, there are some solutions that will appear like a hard drive, and you should be able to use something like that... but they tend to not support the amount of RAM you want.

You'd probably need 20+ years of assembly knowledge to code a BIOS that supported it, and a custom BIOS chip.

"But EeeUser forum member Proche has a much more extreme solution. He’s figured out how to load Windows XP entirely in a Ramdisk."

Perhaps they're busy?

I'm dowloading the tuts and checking them out...I have 8gb ram, the poster had 4gb, might work, seems fun.

Good luck with your setup!
Post back with results.

Interesting thread...

Once you get it up I am curious to how the system operates compared to an SSD install and having Win7 take priority of memory for system processes (essentially running windows from memory).

Would ECC memory be necessary though for this sort of thing? Would Windows eventually corrupt from the minute non-ecc memory errors that pop up over time? ( the ones quickly corrected normally)
