AMD RAM DISKS

[Nightglow]

AMD believes, however, that RAMDisks are more relevant now than ever, & has join forces with Dataram, & started offering AMD Radeon RAMDisk and RAMDisk Xtreme.

I've always been a supporter of Ram Disks.

If there was a decent safety mechanism (backup) and it was all pretty much transparent, they would be fine... but you can't really go without permanent storage.. ram is just too risky really (And I've always liked the idea of RAM Disks).

I use DataRam, as it offers you the option to back up the ramdisk to a hard drive.

Use to run pc with 32gb memory split 16gb/16gb for pc & ramdisk, also used 12gb/20gb, on my htpc I have 12gb memory split 6gb/6gb for pc & ramdisk, avoids buffering when copying, timeshifting, etc.
