182GB/s, for up to 32MB of data. It's an interesting study in misusing the tech, but it's ultimately a bit meaningless.

What we really need is for someone to modify the ramdisk driver to appear as usb storage and make it so it runs under Vista, so we can use it for ReadyBoost.

Use the RAM used as a ramdisk mimicking a disk drive as USB storage for Readyboost which uses a USB drive as...quasi-RAM?

This sounds like a circular way to do what RAM caching is already supposed to do haha, all modern operating systems do this already, used to call it Superfetch but now it's just commonplace and assumed, as well as not dumping things you close out of RAM immediately in case some parts of it get reused
