New use of large memory under WinXP

A lot of new installed friends have 512MB and above memory. Such a large memory will naturally make the system run faster, but have you ever thought about it, there is still a way to completely "squeeze" the potential of memory? That is - create a virtual disk with memory space!

Let's take the virtual disk function provided by Tweak XP as an example: http://www.totalidea.com/After downloading the trial version of Tweak XP, install and run the software and enter the software interface. In the navigation panel on the left, choose RAM Disk Driver under System Performance. Then first set the size of the memory virtual disk under the right window "Ram Drive Setting". Generally, the maximum memory virtual disk allowed by the computer with 384MB memory is 256MB, you can set it as appropriate. Then specify a drive letter, such as U, for the memory virtual disk under "Choose a Drive-Letter for your RAM Disk Drive." Now click the "Install Ram Drive" button, the program will automatically guide the user to install the memory virtual disk, after the installation is complete, you need to restart the computer to take effect.

Note: After installing the memory virtual disk, you will want to change the capacity and drive letter of the memory virtual disk later. Just click the “Apply Setting” button on the right side after setting.

Now, we point the IE cache, TEMP and other temporary folders to the partition, you can obviously feel the speed of the system is faster! However, it should be noted that since it is a virtual disk built in the memory, its data will not be saved to the real hard disk, and the data inside will be lost when the computer is turned off!
