John; >> Stacker is only used to compress data on the hard drive. I have stacker 3.0. I have been using it for at least one to two years, and have had absolutely no problems with it. I thought I remembered reading in my manual that you could use stacker on RAM. It appears that Stacker will allow a RAM Drive (pp142 in my manual). How well it works, I don't know, but that was the reason for continuing the thread. I wondered if anyone had tried it. >> Programs such as RamDoubler and SoftRam95 Thanks for mentioning these programs and their limitations. I was unaware of them. >> From my own experience I would say that there is no substitute for the >> real thing. You are probably right, but at the cost of RAM, and since MAX will be needing more because of NT, it might be worth a test. As far as Stacker goes, I guess it would only loose whatever was in the RAM Drive if it crashed. If no-one mentions they have tried it and failed, I may do this myself in the next few months. Thanks for shedding new information on this, Dennis
