Is it possible to do RAID 0 with RAMdisks?

[Sol33t303]

I was wondering if anybody has ever attempted RAID 0 with RAMdisks and if it's possible.

Yes but it doesn't make them perform better.

As long as the RAM disk software backs up the RAM disk image to a physical disk before shutdowns and restarts, it will work. Installing programs onto a RAM disk is a great way to improve application performance, as long as you have enough RAM installed in the system.

The RAID 0 thing is not going to help with a RAM disk. In fact, it will make performance worse.
