That's pretty fast!! But with only 4GB, doesn't seem worth it.

Not if you drop Win95 on that bad boy, see how fast Doom and Elder Scrolls Arena load

Well, not enough room for Vista, and even with XP loaded the speed is going to go to waste due to having to store your apps on a slower secondary drive.

maybe it could be useful if there was an app you needed to be fast. you could always install XP or vista on a main drive then put the app in question on the I-RAM, although I cant think of any app that would need so much speed.
