Sounds extremely risky to install the OS on a RAM drive. It would be interesting to see what would happen if the swap file was on such a drive. The even the virtual memory would be fast!It's more interesting what would happen if you have a power failure..
Unlike DRAM-based main memory, the iRam card doesn't lose data when the PC is switched off, said Thomas Chang, a product manager at Giga-byte. As long as the PC is plugged into a socket, a very small amount of current continues to run through some parts of the system, including the PCI slots. This provides enough power to make sure that no data is lost, he said.
Sounds like if you unplug your PC it reinstallation time... Ok, so it could be faster then installing to a real drive and I could just make an image that could be restored but still..
