Hi,

I've bought 8 GB RAM accidentally ;-) so I think it's good ocassion to check out how Ram-disk will work, making longer breath (life) for my SSD.

I intend to split memory to 6 GB for RAM (so far I've had one and only exception when system told me "lack of memory" - during playing settings in BF3 online.. now I've got 4 GB) and 2 GB for Ram-disk which would contain swap file. TMPs are on RAID HDDs to save SSD, and swap is on SSD - regarding to tech OCZ guys who say swap file has much more read cycles than write ones, but it obviously depends on overall memory usage).

Few years ago I used Gavotte's RamDisk, which was - frankly and truly - dissapointment due to low speed.. let's say its speed was comparable to RAID-0 (2 HDDs). So my question is - which is best Ram-disk software nowadays ? Any experiences ?

Thanks
 
I use this in my HTPC, does the job nicely.
Allows you to save the ramdisk to an image on shutdown and restore on reboot, handy if you need it to be persistent but not worried on boot times.
