Loading windows onto ram

[Jon Boy]

I heard on anouther site that it was possible to load windows into ram and this would give superfast boot up, cos apparently ram is 1000 times faster. Dunno if this has been said on here b4 but this is what the bloke said.

While Windows2k and WInXP manage its memory much better then the Win9x based operating systems, you can make both the actual Win2k or XP OS run more efficiently by keeping all of its code in system memory (since it's the most used program) rather than in a HDD swap file.

Go to Start -> Run and type regedit. From there follow this path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> Session Manager -> Memory Management. Right click on the DisablePagingExecutive DWORD value, change its value to 1, save and reboot.

Now Win2k and WinXP will stay in your system memory instead of going into the HDD swap file. Please note, you must have at least 512MB of system memory otherwise you'll notice a slowdown in performance!

Is this realy possible, and I would send link to site but it may be called advertising but if you want full details on what others siad I would post link. And what are the chances of this buggering up my computer if I tried it?.

most of them will work.. depends on your system as if it meets the requirement.. im not sure if that is the one listed on the site below, but i have used a tweak similar to that one.. here are some more tweaks you can do if you really need to have your system perform much better if you have xp.
