Can a ramdisk be used for temporary files for CVI 6.0?

Hi all,

I´m just switched computer at work from a state-of-the-art P4 1.7Ghz to a 3-year-old PII 300Mhz (don´t ask me why, and no, it´s not possible for me to switch back 🙂

I am working on a rather large project in LabWindows.

Since the computer switch, I am getting a much longer build time that I want to improve somehow.
One solution would be to use a ramdisk for all object files created in the cvibuild.xxx directory (I havew 8MB object files) and to build the xxx.exe and xxx.cdb (total 11MB) to a ramdisk. That would increase the build time alot as no slow harddisc is involved.
I want to keep all of my source and header files on the harddisc of course so they are not lost in case of a power failiure.

Qu
estion is, is it possible to redirect these object and build files to a ramdisk somehow??
