Ram drive is not retarded... it works wonders... very fast...

I did it... check this out... to all of you... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/248014-29-drive-push-limit

if you want a good driver for a ram drive... let me know... i can direct you in the right direction... you can have as much as you would like ... up to as much as ram you have... sugesstion: 2gigs, set about 700mb for ram drive. and set SWP file to that drive letter.

your quote...

Win XP reports 3 GB of Ram when in reality there is 4 GB. I made a 750 MB ramdrive swapfile and the PC is humming along quite nicely. I even picked up some points in some benchmarks. No blue screens, less HDD access. So far I believe that I have achieved what I wanted: more ram used with at least 3 GB for Win XP and programs to play in. I even put my temp files on the ramdrive so I never have to clean them out. I play a lot of memory thirsty games like FEAR and HL2 and not evn a glitch and shorter load times.

I do have i-RAM from GIGABYTE it cost me around $ 220 with Full Memory (4GB).
And I install XP Pro, But Unforsionatly I end up with 169 MB free space after I install the DRivers and Autocad Software. So this free space I think is not sutable for running fast, it is true Internet is getting very speed But Autocad is som what is not speed as I expect.
Does any one has a Solution.
If Not Can some one gide How to assigne a RAM Drive in My Hard Drive ???
I appreciated.

I have a ram drive software. For XP and Vista, Full ver. Ram drive...

just be careful , when setting up ram drive... because XP needs at least 256mb of ram for its self to run, and vista, probley needs 512...

so if you have 4 gigs of ram, you could make 3 gigs of ram drive and leave 1 gig for the os...

if you want the ram drive software... send me your email address?

here is mine. info@renegeek.com / or / renegeek@yahoo.com...

There is one way I can think of to get windows to boot from a ram drive. It would have to be a fairly large drive though.
Uninstall your ram drive, and reinstall it as a hard drive, NOT RAM.
It should be given a drive letter, such as D:
Uninstall windows and reinstall it under your "ram drive" which is considered a hard drive by your computer.
Due to the fact that you would no longer have a ram drive CREATE A LARGE PAGING FILE BEFORE YOU DO THIS.
Now, whatever is left on the ram drive you installed windows on, use as a paging file, as this is your boot partition and you need it for dumping files or whatever. You should probably have a small fast external hard drive to use as a paging file to. At least 4 Gigabytes.
Keep in mind it will be very slow and I believe you might not be able to because windows probably takes up more than any ram drive. You may need a ram upgrade to do this.
