I was looking into this more and I'm just not sure it's worth the effort. You get amazing reads/writes (bottom
pic) but, you lose everything in there upon a reboot/crash/outage. It seems like too much of a hassle to keep
copying all the WoW data to the RAM drive every time you reboot or whatever. I think most users would
benefit much more from a the new OCZ Revo drives with TRIM (sorta) or the upcoming Intel 720's.

They're only costly because ADATA is the only one with them out at the moment. The price will quickly drop
once all the competitors release their 8GB modules and there is an actual demand for them in the consumer
market.
