Hey!
I'm in a process of setting up my new system and moving from Win 7 to Win 8.1. I was more or less folowing this guide to optimize my SSD, but once I got to the pagefile bit, I remembered that my MoBo has built-in RAMDisc functionality and I figured I could use that to store my Pagefile, instead of disabling it alltogather.
I created 6GB (out of my 16GB) FAT32 RAMDisk and allocated browser Ceche files as well as Temp there (using MoBo program) and am now wondering if I should create my only pagefile there as well. I've found this article advocating against it, but frankly the author could speak Chineese there - I'm not sure I understand it.
So my questions are:
What should I do about the paging file?
Should I auto- backup/restore my RAMDisc or not?
Can CPU and/or RAM overclock be negatively affected by use of RAmDisk?
Is whole thing even worth it?
Thanks in advance,
Emnel
