SUPER FAST HardDrive/RAMDISK

I made a RAMDISK

Yeah I have it set so when my computer boots it reloads an img from last backup that happens when I shut off my computer.

The page file is a waste of time and precious RAM. With 4, 6 or 8GB of RAM you will practically never see a page swap. In my book, RAMdisk only makes sense if you have 16GB or more RAM. Then you can afford the space on the RAM.

Hi,

I'd agree with you! I tried using the swapadd64 utility to force the page file swap to RAMdisk and noticed no significant performance boost. I was just curious about the OP's intentions.

Best,

Chris.

Yeah Linus Tech Tips told me about that its good because most games and programs skip strait to the page.

Yeah I have the RAM to Do it

You're supposed to use it to boost performance by swapping the Windows Temp and User Temp folder (Environment variables) onto it and if you're really brave you could swap the page file for your windows partition onto it but I don't see where backup comes into it.

Maybe you could explain what files you're keeping on it.

At the moment nothing but yeah I will do some temp and a Page File is going on it for sure.
