Files to put on ramdrive?

[Dark_Zealot]

Hey I'm wondering what files could I add to the ram drive on a Win98SE system that could speedup net access? Heres what I've got in it so far: NDIS.VXD, PPPMAC.VXD, VTDI.386, VIP.386, VTCP.386, VDHCP.386, VNBT.386, VREDIR.VXD, VUDP.386, MSTCP.DLL, WSOCK.VXD, and WSOCK2.VXD. If anyone knows of other dll or vxds related to the net in anyway plz tell me them :D

Put the files that you want to upload in your ramdrive, then upload it from there. Faster uploads for sure.:)

isn't that irrlevant? I mean, why would putting the files in a ramdrive make a difference, if your still capped at 128k?

and also, is putting those vxd files and stuff in a ramdrive bad? cuz after you reboot, they are all erased, right? or not? i dont know, i've only used a ramdrive for a short period of time.

I've never heard anyone say they got faster uploads with RAM DRIVE, have to ask Crispy about all this:)

Drdoug99- The files in the ramdrive is like a mirrige(sp) file. You enter a .bat file directing the files to ramdrive. You can only go up to the cap, but some people seens to never hit it.

Lobo- Think about it. When you upload, you have to get through your harddrive in order to get to the file. Now, ram runs way faster then a harddrive, you know that, and it can handle workloads more quickly, therefore resulting in faster uploads.

No Sir, I am still trying to RAM this disk into drive:)

the RAMDISK/RAMDRIVE is useful for almost anything. ya you can put your protocols on it and such, I also like to store cookies and stuff on it cause you can restart and be rid of it.

but tmp files and all of that stuff not a problem works great



I run a few servers on my PC and I use a RAMDISK, it helps me save resources, I have a lot of RAM and I never use all of it. I am not too much into graphic work so I got a lot of fresources that rarely get used. however after I put on a RD everyone thinks I got a new ISP.

it is a lot smoother running and I wish more people could understand how it works, alas only a few of us will acutally take the time to try it


Al you need to step up and be a man on this one, you are always on top of things. Give it a shot and see how it goes, ya may even like it.

You still tryin to use that HP POS? :D

trust me about the RD if you are unsure of using it. I have even been mentioned in the "how to" that Dannjr wrote.
