    Default Anyone use RAMDisk Software?

    Any of you guys here use RAMDisk software?
    Which one do you use? What programs do you use it for?
    Is there a noticeable speed increase?

    Yeah I hear they are way faster than HDD for sure, I'm just wondering how noticeable the speed will be. Also gooing to be limited in space since it's RAM so only those with a lot/extra can use it.

    Not sure if it will help run MORE of anything, just make things run speedier is all, so no use for simba/smart I don't think.

    Using ramdisk decreases your total memory available. If you have 6GB of memory, and you assign 2GB to ramdisk, you only have 4GB left for processes.
    There used to be something meaningful here.

    That explains a lot :P, yeah all i had to do to increase speed again was restart after uninstall.
