I have seen comments above ram drives and their uses, and while waiting for my new processor to come in the mail (at school computer), I was thinking...

If you have a burner with a relatively small buffer, or would like to run slower programs in the background while copying CD's, setting the CD to copy to the RAM drive, then copy to the CD-R. I havent lost a CD ever if I copy the tracks or data in Windows/temp first, then copy to the CD. I Imagine this would work much faster with a RAM Drive.

I think when i get my new processor, I might make a 80 MB ram drive just for that...

Sounds like an idea to me!! I don't know how much it would speed you up (uness your CD-R and HD are on the same channel...), but I'm sure it would help prevent buffer underruns... No slow HD to not feed the CD-R fast enough....

LOVE THE IDEA!
