1GB RAM Disk with 32Bit OS

[Revolution]

Hi,
I'm kinda confused.
So,please help me!
I'm downloaded Radeon RAMDisk and installed.
Now I have 1GB FAT32 RAM Disk.
My Sytem:
Intel C2D CPU
4GB DDR2 800MHZ RAM
Seagate 7200RPM SATA HDD.
ATI HD5670 GPU
Windows 32Bit OS


Now,my question is will the tiny amount of RAMDisk can make any improvement for my PC ?
If,Yes.
How I have to use that ?
And I have 32bit OS.
So,before RAMDisk computer property was showing 4GB(3.25GB usable) and after 1GB Radeom RAMDisk still it showing 4GB(3.25GB usable).
Now,my question the 1GB RAMDisk from that 3.25GB usable RAM ?
I mean currently I'm getting 1GB RAMDIsk+(3.25-1)2.25GB System RAM ?
Or 3GB System RAM+1GB RAMDisk ?
Any way to check that ?

No bearing on physical RAM.

It's the address space that's limited.

The RAM drive comes from physical RAM, but there is nowhere to map it contiguously.

The operating system's address map from 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFF is especially crowded by hardware addresses, graphics frame buffers, etc.

You can have 100 GB of RAM on a 32 bit system if you really wanted, but no single application (including the OS itself) can see more than 2-4 GB window of it at a time.

Depending on how the RAM drive driver is written it probably treats it like a block device and uses page frames to minimize the address space pollution.

Thanks for ur reply!
Can u tell me if I install 64bit Windows 7 then 1GB RAMDisk will be any good for my system ?
Is the 32Bit OS which holding me back or RAMDisk is totally no use for my system ?

Is there something you want to use the RAM Disk for?? Simply having a RAM Disk and not using it does no good.

I want to know if it can make any better for my system.
And how ?
If not,I don't need it.
