No, ramdisk.Allocation of the ram into the form of a hard drive. 16GB usually gets the job done.

Why not just get a SSD drive ... its basically the same thing ...

Why not just get a SSD drive ... its basically the same thing ...

No offense but that just proved you do not know what you are talking about.

A ramdisk is MUCH more inexpensive due to running on the RAM which is already installed in your PC and will run MUCH faster than your average SSD. A ramdisk is great for specialized applications where you need/want the insane speeds ramdisks offer. There are a few downsides, but nothing too major, the biggest is that you're limited in size depending on how much RAM you have and slower boot times.
And Combo has an SSD already.

Here's a visual example to show the difference: (left is a high-end consumer SSD, right is a ramdisk

SSD's arn't that expensive unless you get a PCI one which still cost a pretty penny... ... but there also much faster then your normal SATA III SSD's ... and I was talking about technologically not economically when I said they where basically the same thing

[White Wolf Guardian]

I would probably buy this one next:

Did you even look at the benchmark comparisons? The ramdisk destroys even those PCI ones you mention by offering nearly 9GB/s which is over 3 times faster than the very fastest SSD you can buy, the Z-Drive R4 RS88, which costs £14,000.
And that ramdisk wasn't even using the fastest RAM but regular cheap 1600MHz RAM.

My brother uses an OCZ SSD drive, so far he's had not problems with it I'm personally not to much of a fan when it comes to OCZ's stuff I'd probably get a Kingston HyperX 250GB one or something like that, Kingston makes pretty good stuff...

[White Wolf Guardian]

I changed my mind a few hours later. The revodrive 3 480gb, despite instabilities, probably the best express card solution that doesn't break a bank. Great speed.

[Aloneness]

Revodrive ... who makes that? it sounds familiar

[White Wolf Guardian]

OCZ of course, aside from them, the only other options are fairly unknown, but do exist.

[Aloneness]

Yeah I mean a lot of OCZ I think have stability issues which I think is why I didn't like them ... but if your set on one company minus well get the best they offer

Actually, EVERYONE had the same stability issues as OCZ did.
OCZ was the main SSD manufacturer using the sandforce controller which has a ton of issues and thus got a ton of bad things to their name.

However, everything they do that does not use that Sandforce Controller such as the Vertex 4 and the Vector is actually said to be amongst the most stable and high performance drives on the market.

Just finished restoring an old throwaway, and added some minor beefs to it. No point in spending a lot, but it was fun.

OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (upgraded from Vista Home Premium 64-bit)
System: HP Pavilion a6650f
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9550 / 2.2 GHz Quad Core
Memory: 8.00 GB RAM DDR2 (Upgraded from 6.00 GB)
Integrated Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE / nForce 430
GPU: AMD Radeon HD5450 / 512MB DDR3 VRAM
Storage: Seagate 500GB / 7200RPM HDD (Upgraded from original, which I think was a Western Digital, don't remember. Already threw it away.)
Power: 500W Antec (Upgraded from 250W piece of crap)

Recently been taking in abandoned or throwaway desktops and laptops lately since I can't afford to build up another monster like my last one that cost me almost $1000.

Back in the summer, got myself a thrown away Sony Vaio VPCF12AFM/W gaming laptop. Folks spent like $600 bucks getting help from Sony and Microsoft and asked my idiot help back in the summer who just blankly told them the same crap that Sony and MS had told her, saying that the power supply/DC jack were broken. However, when I got it home, it just had a bad AC adapter and corrupted OS. Two hours to do a system restore and $40 for a new AC made it good as new.

Operating System: Windows 8 Professional 64-bit (Originally Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
System Model: Sony Vaio VPCF12AFM/W
Processor: Intel Core i3 i3-350M / 2.26 GHz Quad Core
Memory: 8.00GB RAM DDR3 (Upgraded from 3.69GB RAM DDR3)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 310M / 512MB DDR3 VRAM
Screen Size: 16.4"
Storage: Kingston 500GB 3Gb/s SSD (Upgraded from Samsung 500GB(455GB usable) 7200RPM HDD)

Hehe, a 250W power supply is that from the same Era as my 55MB HDD thats thats about 4inches tall 4inches wide and 6 inches long? (guessing as its sitting in my closet atm and I never went about measuring it)
