Hi it might be a silly question but when i click copy does the file(files) go to RAM memory before i paste it anywhere? if not how can i force that? i have 32GB RAM and want to use it that way if i can. should i use RAM disk CACHE or something?
 
Solution
Yes it uses system RAM, when click COPY it takes the item into DRAM (if available and you have enough) then writes it to the appropriate space when you click PASTE, else it just floats in DRAM or may be written to the page file if not enough DRAM available - i.e. very large files like videos, etc
