You can accomplish what you're trying to do without anything extra.  Set up 
a 800K ramdisk in the control panel and use a copy program such as Glen 
Bredon's Copy GS.  After you finish copying, set the boot drive to ramdisk, 
boot off of the ramdisk and run your program off of the physical disk.  
Depending on what you'll be running you might need more memory.
