afd, tcpip ramdisk "trick"

What exactly is the point of putting the afd,tcpip drivers into ram?

Windows puts them into memory during startup.
With this "tweak" my startup times are horrible and if I go to a different domain name it takes a lot longer to get the dns.

You must have setup something wrong, I have used a Ramdrive on many pc's and never had a problem. A Ramdrive will help lower your latency and stabilize it and also helps with your speed and stabilizes it.

I think that he was implying that it was useless because windows does it automatically. I think he fails to realize this will have it RUN from the ran not just load if that is the case.

Am I correct?
