Ramdsk "temporary internet files"

flip · Post by **flip** » Tue May 29, 2001 9:57 am

In Internet Explorer/Tools/options I changed my temporary internet files to my RamDrive and after a reboot I lost everything but my cookies. No pun intended :-)

I find that the web pages load quicker and I don't have to clean up the hard drive as often.

"Win98"

Config.sys

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE ON MIN=16384
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 16384 /E

if you surf faster due to the temp files being available on ramdisc doesn't it defeat the purpose if you loose them everytime you reboot

Boy your Quick

Question.........

Do you reboot your PC every 10 min?
How often do you return to the same sight?
And like I said it keeps the main hard drive from becoming fragmented.

Try it before you knock it.

no problem dude. what size did you make your ramdisk ?
have you tried putting your tcp/ip on it ? have you found anything else useful to do with it ?

I tried the original tweak everyone was talking about but I use Winproxy and it didn't like it so I didn't want to waste any more time on it.
