Putting the page/swap file in RAM instead of on HD?
Posted by Ken B.

I've seen utilities that allow you to section off some of your RAM and turn it into a drive letter. This means it's volatile (erases when the computers turns off), but for a page file (swap file), would not this be a great idea??? Have your swap file, say 512MB, in super fast RAM???

I'm thinking of upping from 512MB to 1Gig and using half of it for a swap file. I'd hate to use another hard drive just for swap file. I do Video and audio work.

Any drawbacks to this idea???
