Page file from RAM?

[Seany]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the page file running from RAM? I have 16GB of RAM and was curious to know if this is possible? I have an SSD so that's where I am coming from

Thanks in advance

You're missing the point.

A page file is used as virtual RAM so you're asking to run virtual RAM in RAM

If you have enough RAM then the system shouldn't use the page file.

If you think you have enough RAM to run everything you can turn the page file off.

I used a program called super speed ram disk to map a bit more than 2gb of ram(2100mb) when I had 6 gb, and then placed the (2 gb) page file in the ram disk. It felt a bit snappier in windows, but as surveyor said hard to imagine you would see a benefit.

Ok, thanks for the replies. Will leave the page file turned off. 16GB should be more than enough
