Using a ramdisk will neither prevent not cause web server buffer overflows. In fact it will have no effect.

Can we imagine on Linux to have dedicated RAM & Flash memories to data and processes for a http server?
I guess that overflowing temporary dedicated RAM buffers will not compromise processes running on the standard RAM.
I don't really know what you mean. Ramdiscs are used on many small Linux distributions (for example Freesco) as the root filesystem and to store most files - so the original files can be stored compressed and modifications can still be done.

Running out of a ramdisk will not prevent any buffer overflows, or stop an attacker who gains some undesirable level of access from running amok.
