Is it necessary to use ramdisk for XP system 2G memory?

There is no need.

I'm also 2G RAM, and the speed of reading web pages is indeed a lot faster after setting, but there will be some inexplicable problems, such as web pages will not refresh automatically, and so on.

And you're playing a big 3D game, and it's a bit tight to keep up with the 2G memory of the current game.

Thunderbolt will not hurt the hard disk normally.

For example, set 2M cache, if the **speed is 100K, it will take more than 20 seconds to finish 2M, at this time Thunderbolt will write the 2M to the hard disk, and there will be no damage to the hard disk at a time of more than 20 seconds. But if the network speed is super fast,**Reach 1m a second,Then the preset 2M will be finished in 2 seconds,Thunderbolt will write the hard disk every 2 seconds,This will hurt。 So you can set the cache of Thunderbolt according to your network speed.

I ended up uninstalling the standard system right now, and it's running very quickly.

XP system is not necessary to set up ramdisk this depends on you**amount of large,Generally BT is very hurtful hard disk,If you ** a large amount of it is recommended that you make a RAMDISK,If the **amount is not large, it is not recommended that you do it,And as you said, you have to play some large 3D games,And these games are usually very memory-eating,You want to play things,And want to play large 3D games,It is recommended that you buy a 2G memory module to do RAMdisk, This way the memory space is enough for the game.

Let's tell you this, if you don't play games, you don't need any large software, you 2G set up some RAMDs, it's okay, but you don't want to set so high when you play large games, and it's still pretty good to make an IE cache disk. Or you add the memory to 4G.

Ramdisk simply has the ability to virtualize the part of memory that the system doesn't recognize as a hard disk. Instead of having the XP system support 4G memory. These are two concepts.

The amount of memory supported by XP will not change. Unless you assign RamDisk more than the one recognized by XP. Namely:

XP itself supports that when you have 4G memory, if RamDisk uses the default auto-dispatch scheme, it will automatically virtualize the hard disk that XP does not recognize. However, if you manually turn up the RamDisk virtual hard disk to exceed, it will occupy XP's available memory.

So, if your 4G RAM is normal RAMDod, then it will be virtualized into a hard disk. Note that a virtual hard disk is also a hard disk. If you don't use this virtual hard drive, XP won't use it as memory.

XP only recognizes memory, which doesn't change.

So the memory usage remains the same before and after installing ramdisk and without ramdisk, that's for sure.

To ramdisk virtual hard disk utilization scheme should be:

Set the IE temporary file directory to this virtual hard disk. To achieve the purpose of temporary files are not written to the real hard disk, but to the virtual hard disk when surfing the Internet.

Disable the system's virtual memory on the real hard disk completely, and then set the virtual memory to the ramdisk virtual hard disk. Make XP use this part of the memory in disguise. Of course, this usage scheme is not as good as the native support of 64-bit systems for large memory.

Some people have self-compulsion. I have always thought that ramdisk is invalid, and that the virtual hard disk is robbing the memory of the system. In fact, it is easy to get a real answer to this point.

Let's say you have 8G of RAM. Then the size of the RAMDeDED virtual hard disk will be, if you successfully put a large amount of files on the virtual hard disk, which exceeds the memory of the XP system and the memory usage of the XP does not change, then it will be confirmed that the RAMDeb is indeed effective. Without forcing it to think that ramdisk is stealing system memory.

RAMdisk is to virtualize the excess memory capacity into a 'virtual hard disk', which can be set to the machine's operating system to store temporary files, reduce the time to read the hard disk, and thus improve the overall running speed of the machine. For example, if you run ramdisk, add a new virtual hard disk (the capacity is not more than 50% of the original memory), and then use the memory check software to check the remaining memory space, and the available memory will be reduced (less value is allocated to the virtual hard disk).

A 32-bit XP system can only recognize the memory at most. Your RAMDode runs on XP's platform, which of course is subject to the maximum addressing capacity of the operating system's memory. The specific explanation is as follows:

1) Please see Microsoft's official explanation that the server version supports 4GB is perfect.

That is to say, PAE can be implemented with 32-bit Windows using 4GB of memory, but only if there is special hardware (we can understand it as server-level) support, and it does not apply to our original address:

2) Considering the addressing range occupied by PCI devices (such as graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, etc.), the 32-bit system has left close to 1GB of memory address space to ensure the compatibility of these devices, that is, whether you see 3GB in the system attributes, the actual memory that can be used is 3GB.

3) Because your other 4G memory system is not available at all, it is difficult to realize your idea.

I've read too many reports, but I can't find which version of ramdisk

Excess 1g can be identified

Memory, XP system 32-bit PAE function has been turned on, and I can also see "Physical Address Expansion" under my computer properties

properties, but I just can't find which version of ramdisk

Excess 1g can be utilized

Memory, after setting, the memory used is 1G out of 3G that I can recognize
