Question 1

does this program work with other brand of RAMS?

Accepted Answer

The free version gives you a higher limit on RAMDISK size when you have AMD memory. The paid version doesn't care what memory you have. I have the paid version and
 32GB of GSKILL memory and it has no problems creating 16GB (or larger) RAMDISKs.

Question 2

what is the system requirements for a 64gb ramdisk ?

Accepted Answer

The software allocates physical ram on the computer and uses it as a hard drive it you want to use the full 64gb ramdisk you would need 64gb + enough for the operating system. The major requirement would be a 64bit operating system because 32bit can only allocate up to 4GB of ram so it would be a waist to get the 64gb version of ram disk. If you want to try the program Ibbelieve they have a free version that allows you to use up to 2gb of ram to create a ram disk

Question 3

is this a physical hardware? does it work with all hd formats?

Accepted Answer

This is NOT physical hardware, it is a software package that allows you to turn extra RAM capacity into virtual disc space. There are options like retaining the files after shutdown but this will mean that whatever is on the RAMdisk will need to first be copied to your hard drive before shutdown. Also, upon bootup, the data will have to then be transferred from your hard back onto the RAM. There are some other options with this software as well, but be advised, I don't believe it's possible to run a bootable windows off of this since this program requires windows to install. I believe one you setup a RAMdisk you can format the disk via any format, though I'm not positive.

Question 4

Can you boot from a ramdisk?

Accepted Answer

No you can not, sorry. A RAM drive allocates a block RAM (random access memory, those sticks in your computer, you may have 4, 8, 12, 16, 32 GB) to host a disk image that you can manage as any other logical disk in your system. Note the exception is that it is only resident when the computer is on and after the RAM drive host application/service has allocated the RAM memory and provisioned the assigned disk image into memory. If your computer turns off the RAM drive is no longer resident because it exists in RAM. Think of RAM as short term memory and HD/SSD as long term memory.

I hope this helps. You may be interested in either a SSD disk, hybrid SSD/HD or PCIE SSD or Flash drive.

Question 5

Will this work with any brand memory and not only for AMD Radeon memory?

Accepted Answer

yes it will work ; i have G,SKILL 16GB X 4 STICKS@1866MHZ
my only hold back is my motherboard it only supports 16gb
of memory (ASUS M4A89GTD PRO USB3).
IT TAKE 6GB FROM THE MEMORY FOR ME TO USE AND IT  WORKS
GREAT. GOOD LUCK!

Question 6

Is this ramdisk a pci-e chipset . If not what is it and could I put it in a Lenovo M58 upright desktop ?

Accepted Answer

This is software developed by AMD to configure a section of your RAM as a "Virtual" hard disk.  Once configured you can install programs, apps, or other items on it as if it was your C:\.

Now there are a few caveats with using software RAMDisks.  While very fast they also are not permanent.  Meaning you would need to activate the software in order to use whatever was installed on the RAMDisk.

Secondly, this takes away from your available free RAM (memory).  So if your system has 4GB of RAM and you create a 2GB RAMDisk your PC will now only have 2GB of RAM to use until you turn off your RAMDisk.

I use this in my systems that have greater than 32GB of RAM.  This way I can create a 16GB RAMDisk and still have 16GB of RAM available for the PC.

Question 7

How many personal machines can you install it on?
single machine per lic?

Accepted Answer

From what I understand from some research you can use on multiple machines as well as on a server: this link should help you

It creates a drive letter similar to the C:/drive and can be assigned a name (e.g. RAMDisk) for reference. A RAMDisk stores and retrieves data from the system RAM on your motherboard instead of an actual, physical disk. A user interface is provided that allows the user to set various options, as well as create or delete the RAMDisk. AMD Radeon™ RAMDisk dramatically accelerates the loading and process times of games, software suites and web browsers. It provides faster reading and writing speeds vs. your hard disk drive or an SSD. Experience read performance up to 25, 600MBps with DDR3-1600MHz memory. At boot, AMD Radeon™ RAMDisk can be programmed to automatically and silently load files into the RAMDisk. At shutdown or hibernation, data from the RAM drive is saved back to a traditional hard drive for long term storage. To reduce the volatile nature of memory, the data stored can be set to auto-save at timed intervals that can be set by the users. AMD Radeon™ RAMDisk is designed to permanently delete any information stored in the RAMDisk that is not backed up or auto-saved, making the information completely unrecoverable. Additionally, because it has no moving parts, it is resistant to wear and tear unlike traditional HDDs and SSDs. It allows users unlimited read and write capacity without the fear of disk failure. If you feel the need for more computer speed, even if you're already rocking a fast SSD, you can still improve your computer's performance by turning your memory into an AMD Radeon™ RAMDisk!
