12GB RAM - Can I use a virtual ramdisk as the page file?

[hernaldo]

Hi there, as title really. I'm wandering what to do to make use of this 12GB memory in me computer lol. Is it worth setting a software ramdisk and using that as the page file...

I have SSD drives so this would help their long term use there I would expect also.

Or is this not a good idea?

Thanks,

is there a significant benefit to doing this?

That's the idea of the thread

I'm well aware that you shouldn't need a page file with 12GB of RAM, but like already said some programs insist on having one.

fair enough lol... seemed to be a discussion over whether it was wise not whether it would give you a perceivable performance boost thats all.

I have 2 SSDs in RAID 0 and enought RAM to do this but I moved my page file into its own partition on my last build which was supposed to help and it made sod all difference.

lol hopefully someone will post who knows a thing or two...it's a big mystery to me as like you said these things have a habit of sounding good but not really doing much.
