AMD Radeon RAMDisk Optimization

[hokiealumnus]

AMD sent this along, so I thought someone might get some use out of it.

When “Load Disk Image at Start up” is left enabled on the initial creation of your RAMDisk, the configuration utility will default your settings to “Unformatted Partition”. Your newly created RAM Drive will not be seen until you have formatted it with Windows Disk Management. In order to use the “FAT32 Partition” you must follow the instructions below.

1. Configure the RAMDisk size, format, and other settings.
2. Enable Save on Shutdown and disable Load at Startup.
3. Start the RAMDisk.
4. Verify the RAMDisk is configured as desired.
5. Stop the RAMDisk. This will create an image file.
6. Enable Load at Startup.
7. Start the RAMDisk, which will load from the image file.

Remember, you can download the 4 GB version of the AMD Radeon RAMDisk software for free right here: http://www.radeonmemory.com/software_4.0.php . If you have AMD memory installed you can download the 6 GB version for free. The 32GB version costs $14.99 and the 64 GB version costs $18.99 or comes included free with the purchase of an AMD Gamer Series DDR3-2133 16 GB kit.

AMD Gamer Series DDR3-2133 32 GB kit.

That's a 16 GB (4x4) kit, not 32 GB.
