Alright. So here's my question - it's mostly theoretical, but might apply to my next rig, once we have cheap DDR 4 RAM.
I know that a ramdisk is way faster than even an SSD, but doesn't store information without power.
So what would happen if I had a tiny SSD to store game installs on, and loaded the game that I play the most into the ramdisk when I booted?
How much would this affect boot times? I know it'd require a LOT of ram, because I'd need system ram and +/- 20GB for the ramdisk...
But how much would it slow my computer down on boot, and how much would it increase my loading screen times / general load times in games?
Would it be by enough that it would be worth it to load a game into the ramdisk every time I start a new game?
