Are SSD making you drool ? Have you ever thought that your graphics card has more than enough memory ? Do you lack RAM or suffer an awfully slow swap file ? Do you need fast ram-disk or a diskless host ? Go for it ! This is a six years old hack, but it did not know about it, the recent SSD craze made me stumble on it and I like its spirit. With the tumbling price of SSD it is probably pointless nowadays, but still - a nice hack is intemporal !

MMM, seems there is a confusion between "SSD" and RAM-Disk ... VRAM is _fast_, that's for sure, but not power shortage resilient !
Actually there are two ways to implement a SSD : NAND and VRAM. NAND also known as flash is non volatile and now cheaper, whereas VRAM is faster but volatile. http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-ram-v-flash.html
