Can you in Vista 64 or XP64?

Post by DX »

Run a batch file before starting the games to cache all of a particular game in memory. Basically I'm soon going to have 8gb of ram. Is there a way I can tell it to cache all of a game directory like WoW or Supreme Commander?

You could copy it to a ramdrive... google "ramdrive" for explanations.

To be honest though, you're not going to see much, if any, difference in performance in games using a ramdrive in most gaming situations.

most free ram drive software is limited to 2gb max. I thought there might be a way to force it to be cached.
