Ok I set that one up but I am using a program called Allway Sync to load the wow folder into the ram drive and to save it after each session. The saves are fast as they only save whats changed but loading the whole wow folder (about 28G) into the ram drive takes about 3 to 4 minutes. As others have pointed out you can just put the data files into the ram drive for 99percent of what I get putting the whole folder into the ram.

This is the code to put into the cmd file to use task to start at startup to make the ram drive each time the computer starts:

imdisk -a -s 33G -m Z: -p "/fs:ntfs /q /y"

It makes a 33G ram drive as drive Z.

Then Allway Sync will copy the wow folder from the hard drive to the ram disk.


Its hard to give performance specs as my video card (460 2G) is a bottleneck but I sure am not ever going back to not using the ram drive.
