As I scroll through my list of games in ArcadeOS I can hear the harddrive trying to put up screen shots of my games. I thought a "RAM" drive would speed that process up. Would that be a realistic expectation?

Thanks,


: If you mean a ram drive vs the hard drive, there is a big difference in the load speed BUT in human terms how many of you can see <1 millisecond for loading a screenshot into ram from the hard drive? What takes the longest is outputting the file onto the screen.

: : Is anybody using a virtual dirve in DOS? Does this provide any performance gains or speeds in loading screenshots, etc.???
