I think you'd do better running Solaris -- no "ram disks" to spend hours loading. Given the same amount of memory, the disk buffering algorithms should do better than such a brute force scheme, anyway.

JMHO.

"but I'm buying that some *FANTASTIC* large database performance improvements can be made using big ram."

TGPTNDR, there is no contest about big ram.The question was
whether the flat addressing of K8 is going to bring suddenly
a 20X performance gain, as compared to segmented addressing
of older x86 segmented architecture, given all other
things equal. Of course, the 64GB physical limit is still there
for IA32, but that is another question.
