There are other options to explore, in particular the ability to save the RAMDisk to your hard drive when the PC shuts down, and load it again on boot. (Don't allocate too much RAM to your new drive, otherwise Windows and application performance will suffer and your system might be slower overall.) Setup can be as easy as choosing the size of the RAMDisk you'd like to create, and giving it a drive letter. You could run commonly-used portable programs from there, maybe use it to store a video file you're playing so it won't slow other PC activities, perhaps save your browser cache on the drive for superfast read/ write speeds. The RAMDisk outperforms any other storage media by a huge margin - maybe 100x faster than an SSD - which gives you all kinds of speedup possibilities. The limit goes up to 6GB if you have AMD Radeon memory installed, and up to 64GB if you pay for one of the commercial versions ($9.99 - $18.99). AMD Radeon RAMDisk is a free tool which creates a virtual drive using up to 4GB of your system memory.
