Good afternoon…
Has anyone attempted to use a RAM Drive to speed up programs by loading entire files into memory (RAM drive), so that, the reads/writes are executed in memory instead of to hardware drivers?
thanks

Daniel,
We have at least one AREV application that uses a RAM Disk to significant increase performance in database I/O operations. Win2000 and XP, however, don't seem to support the original Microsoft RAM Disk drivers. We found a great (and free) one here.

RAM disks have been used for a long time. Typically, compiled code goes into the ram disk and saves a lot of net traffic. Obviously, the only data that should be loaded out is transient and work station specific.
