RAM Cache

I have purchased a new X79 motherboard and heard about creating a RAM cache. I was curious how I should distribute the RAM. Is 8GB enough for the RAM cache? My system currently has 16GB but could be upgraded to 32GB if necessary.
 
Win7 is pretty good at caching.

If you want better, try Fancycache with delayed writes enabled. However enabling delayed writes is dangerous, you can be completely screwed if you get a blue screen while a write is in RAM but hasn't been written to storage.

I used it for a while to try it out. Quite significantly faster for a HDD. Not so much for an SSD. THat was with 6GB RAM for the cache and with delayed writes enabled. With delayed writes disabled it was not too much different than the default windows caching that happens automatically.
 
8GB is a lot. if you're running an ssd, make sure you enable "defer write" and set it to like an hour or two. this will limit the amount of random writes to your ssd.
