I have the RAMdisk working on a 4GB thumb drive with Windows TEMP and TMP files. ID: 32829 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

So, you would need to put pretty much both directories on the RAM disk to get the benefit. Though with most OS caching writes and most disks having hardware caches I am not sure you are going to see all that much of a speed increase... ID: 32912 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
