submix8c Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 What you have -http://www.softperfect.com/products/ramdisk/What I also found -http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.phpRamDisk Plus adds multiple disk support, system page file support<snip>Don't know what that means... but I reiterate that (probably) even a RAMdisk is paged (it IS in RAM, you know) or the Applications themselves COULD be facilitating paging via the API, in either case you'll be PAGE'd "somewhere". Heck, putting a VHD in a RAMdisk and using it instead (double-disks?) may do the same.Question - if this is a 64-bit OS, why don't you just use a VM and install XP-Mode (limit the RAM) and install the Games there, thus letting the OS/Game do it's thing and be done with it. That is unless all of those games won't run under XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VM, unless running from a RAMDisk, would be loading from HDD and so it would be no better than loading from HDD under Win 7 x64 (probably slower in fact) and the emulated graphics in a VM wouldn't be able to cope with the games anyway.
