The two benchmarks I have seen suggested that ImDisk may be a slower performer (although I haven't seen any good recent benchmarks directly comparing performance with Win 7 64 Pro, which is what I'm using).

How much of that is due to Superfetch? http://www.osnews.com/story/21471/SuperFetch_How_it_Works_Myths Anyway, thanks for putting a lot of thought into the response, but I actually have 32GB RAM, so I'm not wanting for more memory space. I used 4GB/12GB/16GB in the OP just for the sake of example.

I need help choosing the settings for QSoft's RamDisk (now WinRamTech's RamDriv). I don't understand the difference between their "resident memory" and "system memory," or what "reserve" means. If I have 16 GB RAM and I want to reserve 4GB for use by the OS (Win 7 64 Pro) and background...

I actually tried to find one of them during the trip. Unsuccessfully. :( (Granted, a slow connection is better than no connection at all, but how much do the USB-ethernet adapters slow down the network stream?)

Can someone suggest a brand of ethernet cables that have slightly larger than average connectors? I have a laptop whose RJ45 port has become very finicky. The connection it makes with most ethernet cables is too loose to allow a reliable network signal. It got to the point a few months ago that...
