Use RAM disks for a VirtualPC speed gain
Authored by: blubbernaut on Oct 05, '04 08:52:09PM

I can confirm that hint works for VPC 6.0
I had to stuff my VPC application to be able to copy into my Ram disk as there were permissions problems involved in just dragging it over. I couldn't be bothered fiddling with Terminal, so I just stuffed it and dragged that into the Ram disk, then unstuffed it there. You do have to enter your admin password to "finalise this installation" and virtual switch networking failed, but the PC environment itself worked a treat. Can't really say if it's heaps faster, but loading and saving the environment seemed pretty snappy. You can just then keep the stuffed version of the app sitting in your Applications folder and just drag that over each time.
