It was fine in the Amiga days reset-proof ramdisk yay but nowadays there is no speedup with a RAM disk because: … If you have enough RAM, windoze and every other modern OS already caches enough disk contents, reads and writes before they are requested from the slow?

You can also set it up to autosave an image of the RAM disk if the data you are writing to the RAM disk is crucial and you want to ensure it is saved. One of the easiest ways to use the RAM disk is for temporary Internet files.
You can move the temporary folder for Internet Explorer over to your RAM disk, which will do two things: First, it will speed up Web browsing, and second if you set the RAM disk to not save the image it will lose all browsing history every time the machine is rebooted.
So you get a speed increase and an increase in security. After configuring the size, click on the Move Folder button and then relocate the folder to your RAM disk. Click OK when you are done with this task.
Another great use for RAM disks is for application building. If you are a programmer and want to try to cut down build times, try moving your build folders to a RAM disk and build from within. You will find your build times can be cut by approximately 25 percent. Although this may not sound like a terribly huge time advantage, if you constantly have to rebuild during testing phases or the like , that 25 percent is going to mean a lot at the end of the day.

So experiment on your system before deciding. Fortunately, if you use your RAM disk to hold applications, you don't need to resave the image file on a regular basis.
When you install or update an application, you can manually save the image file by hitting the Save Image Now button under the Load and Save tab in the RamDisk configuration utility. Click Format if asked to format the new disk. If the program doesn't prompt you, locate the new drive letter in explorer and right click to Format.
Your RAM disk will now be ready for you to install software on it. Make sure that, when installing programs you want to live on the disk, you select its drive letter rather than C:.
