This hard drive is killing my scores, I'm sure. lol... it would only be for the benchmark though. the virtual drives place themselves in ram, so yea, that would be helpful if you loaded a g5 up with 8 gigs of ram and made a 5 gig "partition", but not for most of us.

How are you making ram disks on OS X? I would like to move some caches onto a ram disk with symlinks so they are removed on reboots and disk activity is reduced.
