    Ramdisk vs page file which one is better

    There are two ways to increase the performance of a system. The first one is page file which is very common in windows system and the second one is ramdisk. I want a bit help to find which can give me a fast and good performance in my system. Page File can be adjusted as per yoru need. But I had seen ni few articles that Ramdisk is far more impressive and it is also amazing in boosting out the system output.

    I think page file is the best way to keep your system performance high. Here you can buy a few ram sticks if you think your system is very slow. And if you want a instant solution then you can try windows readyboost. You can use a pen drive for that. Windows Readyboost configures the ram chip storage and give you a more virtual memory access. This speed up the system output and I do not think there is any other better than this.

    Ramdisk is a different concept but it is really effective. This one give you amazing output with high speed performance. There are different ram disk software available on the web. It just create a virtual drive in the existing ram that boost up applications. Another thing you can do is simply use a caching software. This thing is getting popular day by day with SSD. Caching software maintain properly location of your widely used programs.
