I am currently running 8 gigs of ram and would like to start using a ram drive. Anyone have any recommendations on what program to use? I would prefer something that is free/open source but it doesn't have to be.

Putting the pagefile onto a ram-drive won't do any good. You just take away usable ram from the OS.
The exception is if you are using a crippled Windows that doesn't go above 4GB and you have more RAM than that. Using RAM above 4GB for the pagefile will speed it up.
That is a common misunderstanding. 32bit systems can easily address more than 4GB

If you choose the right ram drive software it will save the content for you and reload it on next reboot.
