I thought zoning had to do with the 6 second pulse cycle (maybe that was just hearsay/misinformation).
On GNU/Linux you can set up a RAM partition via the following (assume you're root):
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt/ramdisk
echo 'none /mnt/ramdisk ramfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,noauto,shared 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
Then mount via:
A lot of the modern distros also set up /mnt/tmp as a ram partition now also (in /etc/fstab it should look like):
Code:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
In both cases 50% of your total machine RAM will be available.
Then just copy the files there and run out of that directory.
You can also record it for free via ffmpeg (you can use ffmpeg to record your active X server).
