I tried this once but could not tell much difference (on my 56K dial up - though this should not make any difference at all)? Mike T, you can see a difference in speed between access to cached pages in RAM and access to a cache on a HD? On my machine both seemed just so instant. I'd be interested in any other very carefully observed practical benefit (not just the saving of one's HD) of a ramdisk uninfluenced by the theoretical benefits. Quite often, one seems not to be able to go back and forth because the web page itself seems to code to stop this (often happens with ebay for example).
