exactly. has anyone actually tried setting this up on their ram like that and had extensive testing? We dont really know how much load or stress this could cause, might be no problem, but then again there might be. But its still blown out of the water either way by the size of the wow folder. The data folder itself is over 7gb. So it wouldnt matter anyways.
uhh ok you just tried to dodge my point again, how did we suddenly jump over to a RAM drive? it doesnt hurt the memory, period. constant use and load of a stable system does not, and will not, damage it.

and if you are interested in a seperate solution so that you dont have to use system memory I direct you to this.

Its nifty but the biggest disadvantage is the 4GB limit. I used to have one in my server for hosting games like CS/BF2 to improve loading times of things like the maps etc but I sold the setup when I stopped hosting them because it wasnt really "OMG SWEET" as it sounds.
