    RAM Disk....

    Any1 else use one?

    Got 2Gig of RAM in this machine so disabled the swap file (cos windows uses it even when it dont need to..tut!) and created a RAM Disk.

    Set your temp storage and internet cache etc to use this.

    Result = no access to the hard drive unless needed as everything is in RAM.....

    WOOOOOOOOSH! :lol:

    Would that work with a gig, and if so, how would I go about it? :think:

    nah - that just stops windows writing stuff to the swap file.

    your temp storage/web cache etc still goes to disk (check your rnvironmental variables)

    Right Sleeps - I'm now rocking a gig of ram, got meself a 100mb ramdisk, been into the registry, disabled paging executive and enabled large system cache.

    Been into environmental variables, and set the user variables to use the ramdisk, but not too sure about the others.

    Can't find ant firefox stuff to put in there......

    Now what?



    It's fucking fast for playing with normal files mind

    :eek:
