The Promised RamDrive

Ok, for those of you who don't know, a ram drive is a virtual device that you set up on your computer to where something is always queued up in your ram. If you have a gig of ram in your computer and play a certain game constantly, then I suggest creating one of these ram drive virtual devices and installing the game onto the ram drive. Why? you ask. Something found completely in a ram drive has the fastest processing in the program. If you have a game installed in a ram drive, your fps will be the best it can be on your computer.

Theres only one problem with Ram drives, once you assign the memory in your ram to a game or program, the memory is no longer avaliable in your system memory.

Normally ram drives aren't allowed to be over 32 mb but there are programs out there that will allow you to make a ram drive that is much larger. i found a nice article on Ram Drives over at The Tech Zone and at the end of the article they have a link to a nice ram drive program.

If there are any more questions about Ram Drives, just drop me a line. Hopefully I can get Nada to post, he's a lazy bastard.

I read about a cool RAM Drive (actually an SDRAM Drive)a while back in the Maximum PC magizine. It was a PCI card that held up to 6GBs of SDRAM and was declared by the Max PC testers
as the fastest they have ever tested! It costs !$2500! NOT including the memory modules! One drawback was that being static memory, when powered down
all info would be lost.
