Forcing files to cache in XP64 or Vista 64

[dxmage]

Basically once I get my new system built care of the rebate I'll have 8gb of ram to work with. I was wondering if there was a way to force a whole game into memory. I don't want to use a ram drive but use what is in xp64 or Vista64.

Vista will do it for you with SuperFetch after a while, but any file will stay cached once it's been read, until the OS decides that caching something else would be better of course, so if you really want to force the issue you can just read all of the files you want cached.

Just use Vista. It caches automatically.
