Thanks

Storage mem to Ram? Can it do SDCard to ram?

If it's Storage Mem to Ram then that is good....

Especially in a device like the Sprint Mogul with so much internal Mem and a lack of ROM.

OK. Some description :
Ramdisk - made part of Ram work like Disk - Ramdisk.

Where and why you can use it :
1. reassign temp files to Ramdisk.
why :
1. Ramdisk have speed - like ram, i.e. on hx4700 - write - 30 Mb/s, read - 40 Mb/s - tested in pocket mechanic.
2. Flash have limited number write cycles - because for temproraly files - ramdisk - is very good place.
2. reassign internet cache files to ramdisk.
why :
1. Cache files - like temp files are onetime used.
2. In some devices with slow speed flash it will increase internet speed.

Overall - ramdisk is used for save flash life time and speed up device.

It easy to use :
1. copy ramdisk.dll and ramdisk.exe form root path of archive to \windows
2. launch RamDisk-XX.lnk, where XX - size in Mb of ramdisk.
3. you must see new Card - \\Ramdisk, otherwise ramdisk don't working in your machine and no luck for further.
4. for testing autorestart ramdisk - restart softly your machine. If you don't see \\Ramdisk - install SdkCerts.cab, or add SDKSamplePrivDeveloper - certificate from archive - manually. soft reset machine.
5. If you again don't see ramdisk - you must copy RamDisk-XX.lnk to windows\startup

6. for reassign tempfiles and internet cache files to Ramdisk - add to register myregister.reg from archive.

And this would really work? On today's PPCs? And have no adverse effects?

No guaranties that all it will be work fine, I can't test it on all devices, just hx4700, WM6.1 , but there aren't any hardware dependencies.
And what mean today's PPCs ?

But in hx4700 I have some troubles only if inserted CF and SD cards, and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"CacheSize"=dword:00002000
set more than 0x2000, because system can't have enought memory for support new disk more 2 Mb.

If you will see something wrong will be good to delete ramdisk.dll from \windows.

In any case : you want -> you use, you don't want -> you don't use.
All simple

"Storage mem to Ram? Can it do SDCard to ram?"
