Hi Everyone,
I currently have 8gb of ram on my i5 desktop, and I am going to upgrade to 12gb. While perusing the internet yesterday, I read about ram disks, which are pieces of ram that act like disk drives for your computer. My question is, if I put my temp folder and page file on a ram disk, (Right now they are on a samsung 830 256gb ssd) would my computer speed up? All the articles I read were quite old, and what I'm asking is whether using a ram disk for my temp folder an page file would really speed up a modern computer. If I do make a ram disk, I'lll have 1 4gb ram disk and the rest will be regular ram.
