RAM is availabe at high capacities and regarding this dependency is the fastest component inside of a PC.

Normaly RAM isn't available for the user to manually store-in data.

A RAM-Disk is a piece of software that seperates part of your RAM and creates a drive-letter on your operating system with it, that you can access through your filesystem-browser... ike C:\ or R:\.

You can point your application "fixed"-size caches there, i.e. browser cache,
or you can install them right onto the RAM-DIsk,
or you can move-in all your "fixed"-size Games-folder-file-ressources.
Depends on you.

Because RAM-data is gone, when you loose power, you should consider the options "load from boot", "save at shutdown" or to "manual save image" wisely for the specific task you wanna do.

I would suggest you to read the FAQ and the homepage manuals and detailed description, about what Primo-RAM-Disk does.
