Hi all,

With the new generation of SSD (Titan, Vertex), there is no more stuttering issue, and all there is is sunshine and happiness (ignoring the price-premium). The only slight problem in sight is the wear (10’000 cycles), respective the small files write/read issue.
Now, these days, the ram is so freaking cheap, a thought occurred to me: How about letting the things that do a lot of random read/write (swap file, temp file etc ) run on a “Virtual RAM Drive”?
On Linux, it is easier, but I do assume that it is possible to make a RAM drive in Windows as well. Do you people see any downside of that solution? Assuming 12g RAM, 3g used for that virtual ram drive … could anything go wrong/mess something up?

Any input appreciated
