Perhaps no-one has installed more than 1GB into their A series machine so no-one yet has experience of whether it's OK or not . . . .
Not many people will need 2GB so responses could be thin on the ground.

No one really needs that much RAM unless they use Premiere and Photoshop together and have a lot of big files open.

Thats right,

A other Point is to install an RAM drive.

But the original RAM drive from Microsoft use max. 31,9.... MB
I have an RAM drive that you can configure up to 2GB.

Here an intersting Link but I think it's only usefull for Server or professional 3D/ 2D graphics Workstations.

Example:

You can install a game in the RAM drive.-----> play in lightning speed:smileygrin:
You can use the RAM drive for the user temp or temporarly Internet files and Cookies. and and and

But problem is, ....no it isn't a real problem, shutdown the system and you lost all Data in the Ram drive.

May be, but

My RAM drive is a freeware (max 2 GB), I use 10MB for the IExplorer
And it isn't new. The first RAMdrives was used from DOS. (extended or expanded memory)

The Rocket drive: true it's expensive

but its faster as an SCSI-RAID system.
it's ideal for the System Temp or others. For example, for the swap file..........the CPU can works with max efficiency. (Äh, no that is a dream:smileygrin: )
