Me and a colleague were talking about the possibility to create a ram disk and install a game on it and then play it. Wow - that would really rock!!

With plenty of ram installed on the board (2 GByte or so) you could create a 1 gig ram drive and another gig of plain random access mem.

However, my question is: Is there any freeware (and good) tool which can create a ram disk under windows (XP pro here) and the disk is not limited to one hundred mbs or so.

I searched sourceforge and the freeware list here but didn't find anything.

Maybe you can help me - any help appreciated!

Thanx, merendo

what games are 1 gbyte nowadays that requires so much of your pc that you would need a ram disc?

World of warcraft: 4gbyte
Farcry: 3gbyte
HL2: 5.5 gbyte!

and if you have 2 gbyte ram your computer is probaly fast enough to run those games at their best

juts my thoughts, though..

I doubt my gfx card would do these games. Actually I was thinking of something not so recent - like q3a, nfsu, stronghold, stronghold crusader, call of duty, striker count and so on - not just to play these games smoo-ooth, but to really play them at an incredible frame rate

ah okay

well if there is any tool to do that memory disc out there, for free, it would be nice to have a look at.

try this (Win2000/XP only). Source is available too.

there are a few more around... a quick google should find em

Wow, that thing rocks. Many thanks! I'll think of you with the next beer I drink!! lol

call of duty exceeds 1.2GBs in hdd I think.. and so other you mentioned :p
Although you can make lite versions of them!

Good Luck!
