If that's the case, if your content is non-trivial (different reactions to client characteristics, such as language, charset, or browser content that varies) - I strongly recommend you allocate what you like as a ram disk and use mod_disk_cache with 2.2.x. It's far more robust in terms of following all the subtleties of HTTP/1.1 caching. If your content is trivial (doesn't vary, etc) then mod_mem_cache would serve you just fine.
Note that if you have gobs of RAM, your content will be served from memory even with regular mod_disk_cache (no ram disk) since the OS will have everything in buffer caches. (And you might need to be careful about RAM disks, since they may or may not support sendfile(). Giving up sendfile could be a big hit.)
