System Specs

SONY Vaio Netbook W11
Atom N280 / 2GB
256MB ramdisk


Supertalent 64GB SSD


Proof that even a small ramdisk is useful on a SSD based netbook. The ramdisk is typically 3x-6x faster than a SSD and it also avoids write-amplification and SSD wear. And that is with an Atom and single channel single stick SODIMM. With dual or triple channel ram and a better CPU you will get even more out of the ramdisk.
