This is mandatory...as well as adventurous =) Ram allows far faster access to stored cache files than the fastest HD, and a side benefit is that the cache files are flushed upon shutdown (but not restart) on pre-G3 Macs and clones. It's pretty simple to set up a ram disk via the memory control panel, and equally easy to set most browsers to store cache files in the ram disk. Ram disks are very useful to have sitting on the desktop for many tasks including importation of files that want work done on them before storing on the HD and storage of jpegs etc. for inclusion as email attachments (saves a lot of time navigating to the ram disk rather than nested HD files) in other news...When opening the memory control panel to set up a ram disk, hold down the command-option keys to open up the hidden panel which allows the startup memory test to be turned off (saves time everytime the computer is started) Cheers...Michael -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
