I'm doing this on XP but that group seems to be rather quiet

Trying to set up ramdisk swap file on 32 bit. Have
16 GB RAM. Gavotte version didn't seem to work. ImDisk
worked fine. But there's a catch. Virtual memory settings
show that I set up 3 GB virtual memory on the ramdisk,
drive R, but there's now a pagefile.sys on C drive that's
taking up 3 GB. Settings show no swap file for C drive.

AFAIK, 4GB max size, for free. Even if the file versions
don't match, it's still a fine addition to a WinXP system
that has too much RAM.

Always check the checksums.

I always do. They match...


Thanks for the info Paul. Dataram up and running.
I posted a few notes to Mayayana, which might help. I don't
see how using a swapfile in RAM will speed things up much for me,
since my system rarely uses it, but it certainly speeds the system up
if used for browser cache or TEMP folders ....
The only downside is Windows takes a little longer to shutdown
because it saves the image, so I use a small 128 -- 256MB image.

HTH,

It did, very much so...
