An OSX system as a RAM drive?

With 8GB of DDR2 800 being available for $127 and the ability of Macs to run as Firewire drives, brings me to the idea of making a fairly inexpensive RAM disk.

 

Micro ATX motherboard with Firewire $40

Cheap processor $40

1GB USB Flash memory for the OS free

Some ATX power supply or splitter $20

So for ~$225 or so for a rather bulky ~8GB Firewire RAM disk.

Cheaper than the 4Gb DDR limited Gigabyte i-RAM thing.
