(board admin, if too OT, feel free to bump down to Win7 forum plz)

I've been playing around with the idea to use a Ramdisk or virtual DVD drive to build my Win7_64 image. I don't intend to put much more on my new image other than Win7_64 Home Premium &a few utilities/small apps, & some file reduction like removing wallpapers, language packs etc. not likely to install even browsers past IE9, since those things are upgraded every few weeks.

Will I have enough room on my 4Gb laptop to do this, considering the technet ISO is 3Gb? (perhaps this will be a good excuse to drop $50 on a 4Gb*2 upgrade). I guess one can just use a Ramdisk util, use "create vdisk" command. Or perhaps use this virtual ISO RAM-mounter:?

If anyone has any experiences/tips, please share!
TIA

4GB? doubt it would work, unless you use W7T and then vLite straight after it. Worth a try...
