It seems to me that all storage is based on some form of memory. ;)

Apart from that, are you really sure that you want to store persistent
configuration in volatile memory?

Apart from that as well, depending on what operating system you're
using, it can be very easy. On Linux, just mount a tmpfs anywhere you
want to store the files, and they will be stored in RAM.

Hope it helps!
