Well, keep in mind that CF is only good for around 10,000 writes or so
before it wears out... I think it's more suitable for a static filesystem.

Subject: CF as VM




There was a post here a few weeks ago about using CF with an adapter as
virtual RAM.

Would that be useable as a means of adding RAM for Photoshop or other
simlar "hungry" apps?

I have that 5300 with 24 RAM, since CF should be (is it?) faster than the
latency/access times of SCSI it might be worth using CF as the source for
VM in this powerbook, instead of the hard drive.

Any flaws with this thinking?

Thanks,

Brian
