Just wanted to pass on my thanks to SoftPerfect for this excellent tool. Though I have a relatively fast computer, having this software to enhance what speed I already have is very much appreciated.

I have a 1 month old computer running a quad core FX+ AMD processor, a Hybrid Main Disk Drive, RX7 260X AMD Video card with 2 GB GDDR5, and 12 GB RAM.

Hello All, I'm trying to create a RAM disk as the place for my Windows Temp files, but I'm clearly doing something wrong.
