These kernel-in-memory tweak has also proven to be bunk.

I have found some info here:
http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/10-p4.php
Look under Memory Performance about 1/2 way down the page.
Here is another one. Look under Memory Tweaks:

You do not need a ram disk. There is a registry entry (can't remember what
it is at the moment) that will cause the kernel to stay in memory, which is
what I think that you want to do. In other examples I have seen, I believe
that the paging file is turned off also.
If I can find the information on this, I'll send it to the list.

Hi guys,
Long time no see - ok, I have just build my little dream system (goal post
keeps moving!) based on the Tyan Thunder K8WE
Ok, my question, I added 8 gb of reg ecc ram and was wondering if and have
heard that it would be possible to place the OS (win xp x64) in ram, in a
ramdisk
How do you do this? and will it increase performance...this box here is my
digital darkroom where I mainly use photoshop and PhaseOne Capture One Raw
Converter.
thanks guys for any help!
Henrik
