Los Angeles, CA | I wanted to use it as an os drv but got it after i moved from xp. Usually use it as a vmem drv or as a scratchpad if say i'm slipstreaming. I also have my SETI data stored on there hoping for a ppd increase. have 2x2GB+2x512mb in there, for a total of @4.45 GB after the 1/9capacity taken for ECC functions. If you get the right memory, you can disable that to get full capacity. I also have used it as a Readyboost drv (in Vista it needed to be formatted fat 32 for that, not so win7) but as i do not do anything seriously intense i cannot indicate the affect on my system's speed or responsiveness. Well, 'cept for the benefit of having an additional drive.

There used to software on old macs to take the ram and turn it into a ram drive.
How can you do this with windows? I have 4 GB of Ram I could take one out I would imagine and make it into a ram drive since 32 bit cant access all of it anyway.

Los Angeles, CA | umm. you dont actually take it out to use software ramdisks.
and i've seen software that would use any ram over the 3.2-3.5 32bit limit and address it for ramdrive usage. don't remember the name but yeah stuff like that is available

| I didnt say anythign about taking old memory out. I think you added that.
I said the software took the ram and turned it into a Ram drive.
My Mac IIsi was limited to 17 MB of ram though it came with 3

said by toplevelpot:I have one and be prepared to only have up to 12 GB 'cause 4gig stix are hard to find and are expensive so you get 6 slots times 2 gig stix. Well, I just took a look at server memory at newegg -- 4 Gig modules start around $130 while 2 Gig sticks start around $52. (a while ago I bought some 2 Gig sticks for $28, but later they were down to $25)
I was actually thinking about getting an acard and fill up with 2 Gig sticks so I could use it as a boot drive to complement my i-RAM I use as swap/temp, but that looks highly unlikely with over $50 memory.

Pardon my french, but god damn, what happened to your Maxtor drive around the 80-90% test duration? Dude, not good.
I hope something else on your PC was eating up the disk, otherwise your drive has a problem. SMART stats might help me determine what.
