Samir; I can't get the quote.com apple today, but it's on their
end. As for preventing the disk writes with netscape, I have
netscapes' cache set to 5meg memory & 15 to a C:\cache directory
and I map that to ram, along with C:\temp and C:\windows\spool
and c:\windows\recent, all maped to ram, the program I'm running
is dynamic..if it does run out of ram, it will write to disk,
but as long as my disk drive light is not bliking I'm cooking.
If it starts blinking I tell netscape to flush it's cache, and then
it starts over, this also helps with word and excel, as they hold
files in c:\temp, ( the way I'm set up ) default is C:\windows\temp
but my set command does away with the default. I don't have ^^
as if I want to look at them I can step to \temp faster.
Also like .pdf files get run to your temp directory, then
aroread reads them, with mine it's smooth and much faster,
lot of addins use temp to work on files, so maping temp
to ram makes just about all addins faster too.
you know like winzip and all uses your temp.
also my \windows\spool shoots print jobs to ram instead of
disk, the idea being to stop ( by pass ) all hard disk write/reads,
that you don't really need to ram, no HD light blinking unless
I want to write out something.
--------------------
While running I can look in any of the maped directories, and the files are there as if they were on disk, and I can force vramdir to
write them out if I want to be sure to save any of them,
it writes them out anyway on a normal shutdown, but a hang up
and total reboot via the reset kills any you haven't sent to
disk, I hardly every have any of that, and don't much care
about losing the temps and cache if I do.
