I know that many things Windows does are CPU intensive.. But there are also a number of DLL loads, etc.. I was curious if anyone has tried running Virtual PC in a Ramdisk..
Assuming you had 2GB of ram, giving one BG to a ramdisk, and 512 to VPC/Windows might make the system run a bit faster..

I'm curious if anyone has any benchmarks, or the memory to give it a try.

It occurred to me that as there is not a built-in ramdisk utility in 10.3, it might be helpful to link to one available online-
