Memory Utilization

I am very interested in the large memory capability of 64 bit computers. Now, how to use the memory is the issue. I have a database which stores pointers to a large number of files (word, excel, project, image, etc) in the file system. I currently have about 3 gigabytes of support files addressed by my database. Is there a way for me keep my 3+ gigabytes of files in ram and have my database reference them as ram objects.

Thanks,
Fred Herring

You could create a RAM disk and copy all support files on it. Then change the file pointers accordingly.

You'll need a third-party driver that emulates a hard drive. Just google for "RAM disk".
