I might be asking the impossible here 
My understanding that the recommended paging file size is 1.5x that of the real RAM. Is it possible to allocate a section of the real RAM to a drive letter and set the paging file onto there? Then the memory processes will be contained within the RAM. Say that I have 4 GB of real RAM. Set aside 2.5 GB for a RAM drive, then use the remaining 1.5 GB as system memory. The idea would be that the computer would run faster because it would be accessing the hard drive much less.
If this is possible, how do you go about setting up a RAM drive? This will be for Windows XP Pro, and possibly for Windows 2000 too.
Thanks!
