Some programmers have written drivers that use memory and make that memory look like a hard drive to the operating system. This means when you read file from the disk the read happens VERY VERY quickly (much faster than reading from a hard drive). If any one can help me with locating the best source of for a ram disk driver...I would be very grateful.
