Nope, it isn't. First of all, to use a RAM disk with efficient you need (for AA2) about 13 GB RAM. That would make a MB supporting 16 GB, with 3 GB for OS and all the rest you run. Secondly, you need to copy the data from HDD to RAM disk after every boot which will feel like waste of time. But when you have the data in RAM it will run FAST.
A hairy option is RAM Drive. It's basically battery backed up RAM array, similar to SSD, except instead of NAND memory they use DRAM (RAM chips). If sky's the limit I would go for such one
Boot time on my box is 14 sec, with AA2 in startup folder I can play 42 sec after I press Power button,
are you able to spin up your HDD on that time
