Well thank you SplashChris, I do hope it is useful too some. I was just worried it may have messed up your system. The last thing I wanted to do was to cause somebody more grief for using it. God knows enough comes bundled with windows in the first place.

You really don't notice how fast it is until you stop using it. Last time I had to do a clean install after months of using the ramdisk, it was very obvious that browsing without it was much slower. I think I better give credit where credit is due. I got that tweak from
Speedguide.net
If you want to take it one step further have a look at this
DSLnuts, ramdisk
Looking at some of the problems that have already cropped up in this thread I 'll just say this in closing:
USE @ Your OWN RISK.
