This article suggests you create a ram disk and tell Windows to use that as a swap file. Faster than a hard drive, but slower than regular memory access.

If ever Amiga becomes the number one operating system again... remember simplicity, logic, ease of use mean nothing. Just market the thing like crazy and the sheeple will buy it up without even thinking.


When was AmigaOS the number one OS.  I must have missed that nano-second :)

Actually if you read the whole article it makes a lot of sense even fro 64bit os , to have ram disk/swpa file/tmp files in extra ram.

Did you all read the aracticle all way through ?????
 
Even with a 64bit OS it goes on to say that 8G is the sweet spot and there is still an advantage if you have anymore than this to assign it to a ram disk and put swap file/temp files there.
 
And yes Windows is a good OS, if you cant see that then blinkers much

All depends what you use your pc for I suppose.
 
This article is biased towards the latest and greatest games and things that use a large amount of data like video etc
