Lol that would be cool but having to actually put/reinstall them back to the RAM drive every time you shut down you pc would get so annoying. Saying that I used to run AOE2 from a ram drive on my old IBM machine cause I was lucky and managed to scab a 2Gb for it, this amount of RAM was rather rare for the time (2003-4) because my dads mate worked at a pc store and he just ordered in two new "high performance and ultra large capacity" RAM modules each one 1GB in size, then out of no-where whenever he tried to install these chips into a XP machine it would just crash but they worked on pre XP OS's, because I was running 2000 and the company that supplied them reconed that he was making up stories and would take them back he said I could have them for $50, I was over the moon lol.
