It really depends on what you do, but generally anything that's temporary in nature. We use it for the following:
- Windows TEMP/TMP variables. This is a location where Windows stores temporary files. Setting TEMP/TMP to use a RAM Disk generally improves system performance.
- Compiler intermediary output. When compiling programs, there is a bunch of temporary files created that don't need to be kept.
- When testing software in VMs, we use a RAM Disk to store differencing disk images as any changes to VMs need to be discarded.

Thanks for the reply. I just use my PC for browsing, gaming, installing, downloading, opening big programs. I can't find anything useful to add in my drives. My rig is only 3GB ram and i have 1gb ramdrive with browser caches and windows temp. Can't think or find anything that i can add into my ramdrives to speed up my system. i hear about pagefiles but my pagefile is too big to go in my ramdrive.

I am not sure what you mean by L2 cache? It's usually a motherboard chip, and not really related to disk operations.
