I got into trouble with a 256Mb RAMDisk initially since then have 1Gb RAMDisks on a couple PCs and a 512Mb on anotherĥ. a photo-editing app can make monstrous temp files. Some apps don't like smallish RAMDisks e.g. We use Firefox and Thunderbird and I've set their cache locations to the RAMDisk and it speeds them up noticeablyĤ.

RAMDisks are best for temporary files I have my Environment Variables for Windows and Users' temp files set to the RAMDiskģ. Not for pagefile.sys-that shouldn't get used much-if-at-all in a system with decent memory installedĢ. I have also implemented RAMDisks on my conventional PCs:ġ.
DATARAM RAMDISK GRAYED OUT PC
I have a PC with an SSD as a C: drive, and use a RAMDisk (Dataram).

which will increase performance speed overall.Īdditionally, I read that this same tweak is often used by users that have SSD. is RAM disk useful for anything in a WinXP-based PC system? I've read how RAM disk can be used to create a rapidly-accessed drive volume (MUCH quicker than a HDD) where WinXP can be configured to write page/swap file data, temporary internet cache, etc. *I recommend this even though it's only in beta stage, as the developers are working with OCZ to increase the life of SSD's, which can't be a bad thing. I added another 4GB RAM (6GB total) and used 2GB of that (she only plays FB games and checks emails so 4GB is way more than she needs) as a cache for the HDD. I recently setup a PC for a friend who had a Pentium D 930, 2GB RAM and 200GB HDD. It will also access extended memory above the 4GB limit of 32bit Windows. And can use both system memory and SSD's as the cache.

Personally though, rather than going to the effort and manually editing things, I have become rather fond of a program called Fancycache*. When it comes to a mechanical HDD, they are very slow at small writes (4KB etc), so moving all these to a RAM drive will significantly improve the speed and responsiveness of a system. Moving temp internet cache to a RAM drive is a good one. Some even recommend to move writes to a mechanical HDD, which just seems silly to me, I bought a SSD for a reason, not to move reads and writes back to a slow mechanical HDD. However, don't fall into the trap of moving everything away from the SSD, else, you might as well not have the SSD in the first place. It is known that SSD's have a limited life span, so it makes sense to move some of the writes to a RAM drive. And I have used one for a SSD as you have described. Best and easiest way is to simply add more RAM. I believe the key is to optimize the system so that the Page File isn't needed. Personally, I think it should be left alone. Thank you very much in advance!Įveryone has an opinion on the Page File. ac3 audio file using multiAVCHD (output for SDHC media).Īlso, my OS and programs run on a 7200RPM SATA300 HDD, and I have 2 additional 7200RPM SATA300 HDDs as dedicated I/O devices for my video processes.Īny feedback or critique would be appreciated. Step 6: Mux the output of Step 5 with the. Step 5: Transcode IVTC'd Huffyuv AVI file into H.264 using x264. Save to intermediate AVI using Huffyuv compression in YV12 colorspace. IVTC (typically using JDL Telecine, found *HERE*), m2v file into Avisynth (v2.57, I believe) using DGDecode plugin, and do the following processes: m2v through DGIndex (I can't recall the exact version, but I think it's very recent, if not the latest). m2v/.ac3 elementary streams, also with VRD TVS3.

DATARAM RAMDISK GRAYED OUT TV
Step 1: Edit out commercials, with VideoRedo TV Suite 3, merge 1080i program segments into one single. HD captures from OTA via computer ATSC tuner cards saved as 1080i MPEG2 transport stream. Here are the steps performed, and the programs I use to carry them out: I was wondering if configuring the system to allocate about half of the available 8GB for a RAM disk would facilitate a faster processing experience in any area of my specific workflow in converting film-based 1920x1080i MPEG2 to 1920x1080p H.264. I made a recent RAM purchase, 2 x 4GB DDR3-1333 to put into my desktop video processing PC.
