    so, i upgraded to 16gb ram on the cheap from the 4gb i had, ill never use all that so I'd think a ram disk would be nice, though google failed to provide proper answers i needed, as I want one on windows 7 64bit, but most applications for it are 32bit, paid and rather shady looking (as in professional doctor selling viagra online website shady) so i would rather not risk my pennies and card details there.

    Has anyone had any luck with this? if so could you share the software you used for it?

    specs are pretty much stock R3 i5, with an SSD in it and the 16gb ram. No need to ask why and tell me that i don't need one with an SSD, we as men should know that we do things because we can :thumbsup:

    I am also aware it is much simpler to do on linux, but i cannot run my steam games as easily there. Appreciate any help with this :)

    Merry Xmas

    You'd need a few command line scripts to mount the iso on startup as well as clearing, saving the iso when needed and loading on boot up.
