Not sure if this is the right place for it, so i x posted it as well
I read on the forums, that using a ramdisk is really good and fast for anything that is often used.
I have three or four programs that i constantly use, and, on windows, they seem to occupy only 12mb 56mb and 100mb or so
I have xp, with 3 gig of ram (overkill, but hey, why not?) and i am thinking about using 1gig or so as a ramdisk
Problem is, i havent found much info out there (that a retardo noob like me) can understand
I am looking for something that is freeware/shareware, and i assume that what i am doing is really at the bottom end of ramdisking
Do i have to transfer the folders into ram each time i want to use them? Or, do they boot up automatically?
Ideally, i would want to be able to boot up normally, then press a button or two, and get three of these programs into ram
Am i on the right track?
Have i missed anything?
Any pitfalls i need to watch out for?
All help much appreciated!
