Well kinda, as a matter of fact, even before I install'd RamDoubler to aid, and altho I've never used anything larger than 4-5Mbs for any RAM Disk, and normally dump all the cache before switching/ changups on Browsers I've never had any problems, do note; tho, that my specify'd cache sz. in the Prefs is always a lil' smaller than the sz. of the Disk. And when cruizen the Net, I mostly never run any other Ram hog or CPU intensive App/s, other than maybe just URLManager or a mail app. > For folks with little memory (128 or less) it may be they can ill afford to > spare it for non essentials... Not w/o RamDoubler to helpout in most all cases, especially for any of those w/ less than that amount of real Ram, for sure, but 4-5Mbs really ain't that large a bite. I even use a RAM Disk on well heel'd in real Ram BeigeG3/G4 power'd w/o ill effects, and still no hits to the HDs showup. Give it a tryout, you might be surprize'd pleasantly, even w/ your gagglez of install'd real Ram, and those without much but a bare minimum. But, as always YMMV. Also dave and Ginny, after you do give it a good workout, do comeback to us w/ your tryout results and let us know which browsers work best for you, as well as those that don't cut it too.
