[Javascript] image preloader doubt

[Troy III Ajnej]

Suresh,
There is no way you can preload images to RAM.
The standard preload procedures will cache images first, not load into RAM.
You see, RAM is more like your credit card, not like the money you carry on.
Everything you download from the net, will go strait into the cache, the pocket,
client HDD. Than the browser will read requested data and display them.
So you don't have to worry about the client capability, the browser can handle 
any size of data limited only by the clients free disk space.
On the other hand, I would suggest that you invoke your image preloading script 
with the "onload" event, only after the page has loaded all the easy data and declare 
the dimensions of your image placeholders so the page finishes rendering faster.
