Can't the 2GB MBA limitation be got around by using a RAM disk?

Especially if you have a SSD with you MBA this should be very quick & seamless, just assign 2-4GB of your SSD as RAM disk. This should work, no?

Anybody tried?
 
You've got it backwards, a RAM disk is when you make RAM appear to be a disk.

Virtual memory is where you make a disk appear to be RAM, and OS X does that without the user having to do anything at all.
 
Doh, of course. Thats what happens when you dont get enough sleep. Not all my cores are working lol
