infinity10, nope, that's Windows 'virtual memory' - a space on your hard disk (as it says) where memory pages are stored and retrieved so that you can use more memory than physically installed.
A ramdisk is actually in memory, but acts like a hard disk (in that you can store files in it). Think of it like a floppy disc (old school there), but without the disc or the drive ;) - it still needs to be 'mounted' just like when you insert a floppy into the drive.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
