And in general, I hate virtual memory. It slows systems down horribly. I
know many with inadequate RAM depend on it. But RAM is cheap and time is
precious. Too precious for slow hard drive VM read writes.
If you want to see your Mac behave like a Winblows machine turn the VM
setting up.

You might try Disk Copy 6.5b13 which was the final version and handles
many more types than the version you're using. I don't know if this

i completely understand what you said. I was referring to virtual RAM. i was
wondering if there is a way to completely turn off virtual memory to
increase system performance on a mac. RAM on the other hand, most of my
computers have it to their limits.

Thanks everyone for the great response.
The soldering Len mentioned was enough for me to forget about the
option of putting the DA's processor into the Gigabit.
And then, today I discovered that original 400MHz processors for the
Gigabit can be found on ebay for less than 15$, so I decided to
Ram disks are not for storing programs . they disappear on shutdown unless
set up for reboot.
A lot of people use RAM drives to store executables, in fact. Yes, they
disappear on shutdown unless set up for reboot. So set them up for reboot.
Adding a few seconds to a reboot that I might do

That is true. But in this thread, the CPU in question is a 500 MHZ
