man tmpfs :p

then add something like this to your /etc/fstab:

tmpfs	/tmp	tmpfs	rw

which will allow tmpfs to use all free memory so free space on /tmp 
will vary over time, depending on what you do. There's an option to 
limit the size of a tmpfs too. Oh, and you may want to link /var/tmp to 
somewhere in /tmp.

have fun
Michael
