Ramdisk speeds!

[Nizzel]

So i made a ramdisk out of Corsair vengeance 1866mhz and i was wondering what kinda speeds you guys are getting out of your ramdisk?

I also get same speeds within margin of error.

ah.. so there is not much diffrence between ram speeds? or do we just have some very identical ones? 

would be a shame if its nearly the same for everyone.. cause then this post would be pointless ._.

This really makes me want to get more RAM....  :o

I have two computers one has kingston ddr2 800MHz ram it give around 3500-4200 MB/s.

Other has Kingston hyperx ddr3 1600MHz it sives around 6500-7000 MB/s.

It actually depends on your memory frequency.

Latency has very less noticible effect.

yah.. its insanely fast :D but i only have 4GB ramdisk right now.. but i can do more since i have 16gb total .. i never use over 9GB anyways.

ah thats good to know, Thanks for the info!

Mine hits up to around 7GB/s as well. 16GB of Kingston HyperX Red 1333MHz in total. 8GB dedicated to the RAMDisk.

I intend to upgrade to 32GB in total, 15GB of RAM dedicated to RAMDisk later with 5GB of RAM dedicated to Fancy Cache. The other 12 for games and whatever.

There is a reason to have more than 8GB of RAM these days, besides gaming. Many reasons. :P

16GB 1666 in my W110ER

Yea crazy fast! But I bet your software isn't really starting faster :)

Since Vista, Windows has Superfetch technology. It does exactly what RAMdisk does. but the way it works, is that Windows looks at what you run the most and when, and preloads it before you do. And frees that reserve space when you need the RAM. It's like a dynamic, automatic RAMDisk, if you will.

 

So RAMDisk.. while it give you fancy numbers in benchmark, it's meaningless.

this makes me want to put 32GB in my laptop and make a 16GB ramdisk!
