Use a RAM disk to speed browsing on slower Macs
Authored by: mistersquid on Aug 30, '04 12:03:12PM

I'm not sure what Alberto Cutolo's "Disk Velox" is actually doing. I opened the application and mounted a "RAM" disk set to be be 1000 MB (1 GB) big and it did so without a complaint, despite the fact that I only have 896 MB of physical RAM. I haven't yet tried to copy a file in excess of the 896 MB to that 1 GB RAM disk, but I'm thinking that "Disk Velox" does not really distinguish between physical and virtual/disk RAM.

Also it doesn't seem to release memory after disk is ejected
