the same part as used in the TP600 and 760X series will work in the 365X
series to achieve 72megs..
AND
a RAM disk is smart and really useful, especially on a laptop running on
battery..
if the HDD is powered down and does not need to access a HDD based swap
file, it makes the battery happier..
AND
a RAM disk is faster than most any HDD..
