    You gaming experience will very good on the RAMdisk. Since you are using a 32 bit Oerating system. Using the RAMdisk in this type and placing the pagefile on the RAMdisk is not going to do anything extra but it will improve system performance. It does not mean that your system will suddenly two or four time faster in everything, but this will make overall thing faster than having a page file on any physical media. You have got RAM for burn, so put it in such manner that make a 6GB RAMdisk and temporary point everything to it. Then place a GB static page file on it, you can place of any page file that exists on a physical drive.

    Hello friend you can also use any portable versions of applications from RAM disk because Ram Disk even make duplicate or mirror of the content in the RAM disk to a your local the hard drive, It is also possible to install real application directly on the RAM disk and this will really present between reboots in the same state, just like they will if it is installed to physical hard drive. The major difference is that the speed will boost up when you access the application or the data. RAM disk is very fast as compare to any physical media it is also faster than any SSD.
