What would be useful to put on a ramdrive?

[Ciaran]

I have a ramdrive for winxp pro and i was wondering what would be useful to put on it. I heard that putting cmd.exe on it would speed things up.

How would i make it so at every startup the new cmd.exe on my ramdrive would be used instead of the 1 in c:\windows\system32. (i know i would have to start by copying it to the ramdrive everytime) And if i did manage to change the default location of cmd.exe to my ramdrive would the computer fail to boot when i restart because the ram would be whiped and cmd.exe would not be there?
Also where would i place this script, c:\autoexec.bat?

Is there anything else that would be useful to put on it? I have 256meg ram.

I have a 56k connection so there is no point trying to improve web browsing speeds. Would it be possible to improve system performance? There are many processes that run constantly eg. Explorer.exe
