Does Linux support any RAM drive(s)? How much faster are these drives over an attached drive? Is there a CPU performance penalty?
We would like to replace our mechanical drive with a small (<4GB) RAM drive. The mechanical drive is getting pounded 24 hours a day. In addition to fatigue, the extra performance would be nice. Is it true the x86 architecture is limited to 32 bit addressing and will never support more than 4GB of address space? Trying to see what the limitation will be. I know this is a lot of questions. As always, any help is appreciated. Regards, Paul -- Paul McHale Work: 937-320-5495 Double E Solutions Mobile: 937-371-2828 1435 Edenwood Dr Fax: 413-215-3232 Beavercreek, Ohio 45434 --
