I think this would be the 1st in any defrag software.

And it would be useful for user with too much memory to spare.

I can spare up to 3GB, but then may be a 64bit edition of Defraggler is needed :P

Yeah. I almost forgot about this. Option like "Ultrafaast Defrag" or "Ultra DefragglinG", when files temporarly placed fully in physical memory on something like "Invisible RAM Disk", instead of shuffling them on HDD. This would be a great speedup and also reduces necessary free space at which defragmentation is possible. But this meens that you should have UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for safety. If you mean this, then I join to request.

From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.
They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!

It's not like the RAM would be unusable after it was unallocated.

At the expense of complete Windows and applications install and updates, and loss of personal data (nobody does backups any more) if the defrag process hits a glitch.
