RAM DISK?
« on: August 15, 2003, 06:18:11 PM »
Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to create a ram disk for Windows 2000 pro that runs and acts the same as on the Amiga?
 :crazy:

I just wanted to say how sick I get from pc questions in this forum.


do you really think that 98% of the pc users even know what an amiga is?  NO, and I can say that I have never known one that even knows what a ram disk is.

Just to mention, though this is an Amiga forum, it is not an Amiga ONLY forum, or I have not taken it as such for the past couple of years, I was an Amiga user, I had a total of five Amiga's at one time, but due to lack of software development, hardware development i.e. new systems (it should not take over 10 years just to make a compatible), stable parent company, and the fact the pc has out paced the Amiga in everything yea, I did sell off my Amigas, but that does not mean that I don’t have fond memories of the system.  The fact is that if the Amiga market was to become a feasible platform for me to support once more, I would, but until then I will continue to reminisce and converse with my fellow Amiga/PC users here in this Amiga forum

[color=FF0000]SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, LEAVE![/color][/b]
THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE WHO OWN AND USE PC FOR EVERYTHING, BUT STILL LOVE THE AMIGA, AND ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THEIR PC MORE AMIGA-ISH!

BY THE WAY THE WORD AMIGA HAS BEEN MENTIONED HERE 14 TIMES, I HOPE I SPOKE ENOUGH ABOUT THE AMIGA FOR YOU NOW.

Is a ram disk much use on a pc and i know there are free ram disks for the pc .


well, like what I used to use the amiga's ram disk for, unlha-ing (unzipping) I used to use the ram disk alot with dpaint and anything I needed a quick place to put something befor I made up my mind to keep it, but with the PC, I really want to have all my internet cach and cookies and temp files put there this way I dont have to worry about it being on the hard disk and havint to have to delete all that stuff.

I just wonder if its possable to do that using the ram drive.

with my system having 768Mb of ram, I alotted 127Mb for the ram drive.

now to find a cool amiga glow icon for the ram drive  :-)
