Are there any other temp files that can safely go into this ram disk?

I have done this method, but when I reboot the RAM drive becomes unreadable, and it says it cannot be read by the system. So I have to unmount then remount and then it comes back and is readable. Any suggestions?

which ramdisk drivers are you using?

[Zekeman]

I am using Gavotte so im assuming RRamdisk.sys driver.. if that helps.

You can set the Ram drive type using the config util.
Do you know what you set it to? (Try a different Ram drive type.)

Just installed a 384mb ramdisk. So far, performance is noticeably better, especially in Firefox. Thanks!

Also if there is no method to change my Internet Browser's temporary folder to the RAM, would I notice any general improvements in performance despite not being able to benefit from RAM useage with Chrome?

Please see this post in another forum.

Haven't tried this yet. The info sure wasn't anywhere in the Google groups for Chrome when I searched. Thanks for the link. I am waiting for my RC build of Windows 7 to finish and will set it up after a clean install.

any instructions on how to do this on an OSX?

I've been using a RAM disk the entire time, but you can set Firefox to use RAM as cache anyways. I wouldn't recommend using the drive for your temp and tmp files though. Some programs, like virus scanners, use a lot of physical space temporarily, so if it doesn't have enough space, it will start to use RAM to load and save its files. Basically, you will run out of RAM.
