schoondoggy 900 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have 16GB of memory in a server testing WHS2011, which can only use 8GB. I thought I would expirement with DataRam's RamDisk software. It is free for up to a 4GB disk. Here is the preformance; It is mainly aimed at gaming and databases. http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk Link to post Share on other sites

schoondoggy 900 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 This was the initial video from NewEgg; To me the question is, how much memory fits in a computer vs how much memory the OS can really use? This is the gaming video; Link to post Share on other sites
Joe_Miner 254 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Reminds me of the 80's when I had a ~2MB RAM disk on an intel add on card in my original PC -- very nice ............... Link to post Share on other sites

KydDynoMyte 3 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Am I understanding this correctly? WHS2011 only supports up to 8GB of RAM but you could put more than 8GB in there and make RAM Disks out of the RAM above 8GB not used by WHS2011? Finally going to make me kick myself for not maxing out the N54L to 16GB aren't you? Link to post Share on other sites
FiLiNuX 30 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 What is blowing my mind about this post is that WHS2011 only supports 8GB of RAM!!! Why???? Ram Disks are VERY cool though. Link to post Share on other sites
