not sure whether there is a link
read it somewhere
it's a school project

there is something that I would like to try as soon as I get my hands on a mobo that supports at least 4 Gb of RAM

Install WinXP on C:
create a Ramdisk of at 2GB to emulate as a local hard disk
Install another copy of WinXP to it (I am not sure whether it will install)
When booting, use the ramdisk as default
