Carving out half of your total memory for a virtual disk isn't really a "small" thing ;D Windows itself will want almost 600-800 megs alone for day to day usage. Specific system configurations with a lot of pre-installed programs set to start at startup can potentially eat a lot of your available memory in addition to that, which isn't uncommon with a lot of "pre-built" systems. I've seen some factory "back up" programs take up almost a full gig or more(!)
If anyone wants to mess around with trimming their running processes at startup, they do so at their own risk.
Obviously, if you're running anything memory intensive like Photoshop or video editing software, this will have an effect. Hell, just surfing a couple boards and Firefox is at almost 300 megs.
Anyways, to stop and uninstall:
Enter the RAMDisk Configuration, click "Stop RAMDisk" at the bottom. That will stop the disk service and shout make the drive go away.
Delete the "RAMDisk.img" and "RAMDisk.img.bak" in your C:\ drive (if you kept the save/load image location to default). These are where the disk image is stored when not in use, so this is a house keeping measure to delete these.
Uninstall RAMDisk if you plan on never fooling around with it again
