This is what I've gleened so far - Would have to ask one of the beta testers or Brayder for more accurate nfo

It lets you use the expansion card as if it were RAM. It actually replaces the RAM with a virtual disk on the expansion card.

Instead of linking apps to the memory card and copying stuff from card to RAM when executed, it makes the memory card look like RAM. __________________ The answer is 42!

Actually, a specifyable portion of the card. You dont have to use the whole thing, and the rest still acts as a card.

No, its a completely different type of application.

IsLNdbOi Registered User Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 1,047	What does it have to do with my original question then? I just wanted to know if the two original apps. from Brayder would work on the Zire 72. I guess FrankG answered that. Thanks for the info. on this new app. though. ZLauncher and Powerrun already do the same thing as this new app., don't they? How could files on external media run as fast as if they were in RAM? Last edited by IsLNdbOi : 02-11-2005 at 08:52 PM.

Its not as fast on my TH, but perfected, it certainly could be usable. It is not the same as any current apps, to my knowledge, as they only allow access to apps on the expansion card, and dont actually treat the card as ram the way it does. It also sets everything up for you, so you dont have to transfer apps from your RAM.

Now you tap on the Bejeweled shortcut and ZLauncher or Powerrun launch it from the card and puts it in RAM for use. How fast is this new app. compared to that whole process I just described? Does it actually run the apps. on / from the card (without ever transferring them to RAM)? I didn't think that was possible and if so, would be very slow.
