    what about creating the ram disk from a bootable drive or media and formatting to NTFS then restore a windows backup to the ramdisk in theory that may work and you can experience blasting speeds in windows that could be cool until you reboot of course :rolleyes: I wish there was a way to keep sending voltage to the ram so the ramdisk stays intact ;)

    I ordered two. One to my address and another to a relative's; using the same credit card.

    I received them both, and learned that the PM45 chipset doesn't support 512M x 8 memory.

    Don't know yet. This may be a sign that it's time for me to get a new laptop; in which, case I'll keep them.
