I've spent about an hour on google reading benchmarks and such, but I can't get any answers to this.

Linderman Computer "Go-L.com" (is now closed so can't post the link) claimed that an OS ran from the SSD (aka PuRAM) would use none of you RAM resources, and require little to no effort from your CPU. So my question is, is this true of any SSD out there, and does that apply to any software that SSD has stored?
 
That is just plain silly. The SSD is not mapped as RAM, it is connected through the hard disk controller.

While flash ram is faster than magnetic drives, it is much slower than regular system memory. If you were running an OS directly from flash, it would be dog asses slow, whatever that means. I ran HD Tune on my Ramdisk before, and it has a read speed of 4000 something MB/sec.

Hmm, maybe that's why the link aint there anymore.
