Windows 7 - How to make a RAM drive in Win7 64?

In all my years of tweaking now i still have never made a RAM drive(the fact that i never had enough spare RAM to do so) I have now had 8GB for awhile now and pretty much 4GB of it is never in use. I would like to make a RAM drive for firefox and try that out.

Any help appreciated!

Well, the old ramdrive.sys is gone, so nothing native. I just downloaded this today. There are others, more expensive.

Haven't installed it yet.

This might be fun to play with:
"ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver", at:

LTR Data

It's been discussed in the 911CD forums (BartPE), Bootland.net, and I'm sure other fine technical places.

Check out Olof's link to Bootland.net (his "home"), especially this post, found there:
How do I recreate a ram disk with reboot?

"jaclaz" has provided many people, on various forums, with excellent help when in dire situations,
but gets disturbed when noobs don't RTFM (can't blame him here)...

I like to create a B:\ 1440K floppy, and format it, when playing around with the original "F83 for IBM PC" (Laxen and Perry)...
I run mostly XP Pro, but I think it ran OK under Windows 7 32-bit...
Dunno about x64.
Aaah:

Freeware Ramdisk ramdisk.zip - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage

Here is some info and tutorial.
Free Ramdisk for Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and 2003 Server » My Digital Life

It has been confirmed to work on Windows 7 32 bit (not 64bit)

Excellent Ramdisk both 32bit and 64bit version. Only $12

Download and/or Buy RAMDisk

The link / site you posted ("Download and/or Buy RAMDisk") no longer hosts any ram drive business or information.

("Excellent Ramdisk both 32bit and 64bit version. Only $12")

Do you have any different address(s) for a source?
I have about given up finding a functional freeware Ram Drive device driver that will load w/ Windows 7 64b.

thanks

this is a nice little tutorial i came by yesterday as i was doing some research before i installed my SSD.

by the way it's FREEEEE!

also it is compatible with all versions of Windows 7, Windows Vista (x86 and x64), Windows XP (x86 and x64), all editions of Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64), all editions of Windows server 2008 (x86 and x64).

i may be new to the forums but i come with gifts.

I tried this day before yesterday, I was disappointed with the results and so decided to uninstall it --- which began my problem. I tried to download and install Google Chrome since then and what I get is an error message that it cant download from R:\Temp ... Please how can I fix this? I just want to go back to the way it was before 'RamDisk'.
I have a Gateway FX6831-03
