APPLIED ENGINEERING RamKeeper - Manual (Page 45)

Many programs automatically look for and use available
RAM (system RAM) to give them more room to operate
(e.g. desktop space). Many programs load themselves into
the available RAM at startup. This greatly increases their
performance speed because it reduces or eliminates the
need to access the relatively slow mechanical floppy
drives.
You have probably already experienced the thrill of
loading your favorite (or most used) programs into a
volatile RAM Disk and then seeing those programs run
faster than they ever could from a floppy disk. You could
access these programs from RAM all day. But flipping the
power switch or a power outage is like a lobotomy to a
RAM Disk.
Now you can know the joy of turning on your computer
and having those programs that you previously loaded
into RAM appear on your screen instantly. No more
setting up a RAM Disk and loading the program every
time you turn on your computer.
