This was posted before: Two ways to create RAM disks. Very similar instructions.

One note - someone points out that RAM disks are largely unnecessary in Mac OS X because the OS notices which files are being used frequently and caches them to RAM itself.

Also, there is nothing (I think?) that prevents the OS from using VM (hard disk) to store the contents of the majority of your "RAM disk." Anyone know the answer to that for sure? No guessing - that's what I'm (almost) doing.

There is a detailed explanation of the pros/cons of RAM disks in Mac OS X at th OSXFAQ RAM Disk page.
