I'm having trouble coming up with a good reason to have a ramdisk
under NT. All you're doing is removing resources, which means
you'll end up paging to disk sooner. If you use it for a temp
area, chances are you'll run out of space and cause some real
headaches.

If you've moved to NT, you've left the past behind. You're better
off leaving it there.
