An OS running from an HDD or SSD loads the files it wants to work with into system RAM which is basically a faster cache.
If however, an OS is running from a RAMDisk, then what's the point in loading the files it wants to work with into system RAM that is now running at the same speed?
I believe that RAMDisks are on the verge of becoming mainstream.
As such, has anyone looked into optimizing Windows or Linux to run completely from a RAMDisk and just skip conventional system RAM?
Thanks.
I see my question wasn't clear co I've reworded it.
