install OS in RAM

[nightmast]

So, there's a software called  "RAMOS", it can pack your OS and install it into your ram, and seems like it works same even better then an SSD. I wonder if its real.

 

Tool attached, feel free to try it.

No because when you power off the computer everything in ram is wiped.

Not looking for a tool, looking for information.  Figured that i I could find it on the internet then I could read more about it.\

Just install your OS on a HDD or SSD.

This is very similar to just having a Linux Live USB.

Used the google translate function and able to read a lot of what they have to say.  It's broken english but after living over seas 15 out of 20 years with the air force I can get a pretty good picture of what they are saying.

Then it makes 0 difference because your OS is not bottlenecked by storage.

An SSD is faster than what an OS needs.

It is files and programs which need higher speeds.

Well that's all good and well, expect a good sata ssd will have no perceivable difference in use.

it basically uses RAM as a physical drive, which means you can put files on it.

But can you guys imagine what the owner/operator manual looks like?  WOW!!  Time to get a new hat.

In the video, it looks like a ddr3 1600 hz ram.

In theory, it's a pretty cool idea, and could be plausible. Boot up PC, wait to copy the entire OS from a hard drive to a ramdisk, and then boot from ramdisk. Of course, it's too unreliable and boot times are extremely slow, so you might as well just buy an SSD. I don't really see a need for speeds (heh) faster than an SSD, and either way, you're getting less storage for the price if you're using a ramdisk.

Just like you can on a normal ramdisk.

But it is useless to have an OS on there, it sounds like a big placebo scam.

A clean install of Windows 10 is about 12GB when installed. Where did you get those numbers from?

And an X86(32) Win10 is only 951.5MB

Are you talking about the ISO or an actual install of Windows 10?

I haven't use them before and should be packed as it, the win7 is packed in rar and its actual install for 200MB

What if u need to turn it off? why? idk power outage? software that requires u to restart? or when u got BSOD or just freeze and need to be restarted?

 

And u there re-installing the OS

Its never gonna be practical, but it is a interesting ways to run a OS.
