Thanks for the help. Just to let you know, you are both right. I am trying to eliminate the common point of failure - the hard drive, and i suspected that it would be much faster using ram instaed of a hard drive. as far as the price, I already have 10 or so 2 gig ram chips laying around. I don't have any extra hard drives though. So the cost is nothing out of my pocket. Thanks for the info RB. I am gonna play with the idea more this weekend. I kinda though more people would have been doing this. I definatly love PFsense. Greatest firewall I have ever used. Thanks to all who contribute. You Rock.
