A big RAM disk would do the trick. Make it big enough and it could
hold both PS scratch and the system swap space.
I'd be interested to try that on a fully-loaded quad G5 machine.
They'll take 16Gb if your pockets are deep enough... PS can only use
a few Gb, and the system would only need another Gb or so on top of
that. The rest can be turned into light-speed scratch space.
Just don't edit too much at once: CS2 can handle up to 64 exabytes of
scratch... that's 64 billion Gb...
