I have 16gb of ram in two of my systems and I was wondering if there is a way in Windows 7 or 8 (one each) to force the system to use more memory for disk caching. Now I have setup a ram drive with the ASRock software and flipped to it full caching of temp and swap files however that isn't what I'm talking about.
If you recall WAY back in the days of Windows 95-98 you could make smartdrv cache files like a whole game directory. I can't remember how it was done as it was a bat file I made, however it worked great as I had tons of RAM for back then I think it was 512mb or something like that it was HUGE for the day is what I remember. Is there anyway other than installing the game on the ram drive to make the drive cache pull the game into the drive cache? Windows isn't using nearly enough of the memory with a game loaded I still have enough space to load all of most games (well the one I want to play at the time) into ram.
