Disable pagefile/superfetch and setup RAMDisk for high disk usage apps, like for a browser cache.
AMD Radeon(TM) RAMDisk gives 4GB for free.

You should only disable superfetch if your system's RAM is 8GB. It only makes sense at 4GB.
If I am right, superfetch caches applications which you use in order. (eg. When you start up your PC, log on to an account the first thing you open is firefox, next a game, etc..)
if i don't like anything its done I just untick it and hit apply again, it has always gone back to the old setting
Hi,
They sure are fast and if you have RAM to spare, why not ?RAMDisk is particularly useful, if someone has concerns about SSD's lifetime. It can be used for prefetch files as well.
But the days SSDs wore out pretty fast are long gone and most are pretty fast, especially the NVMe ones nowadays.
Cheers,
But RAM disks lose everything when you power off. Not really good candidates for caches.
The RAM disk programs out there today, have settings, where a copy of the disk contents will be written to your hard drive(and usually drive of choice) after a certain amount of time(i.e. 10 min., 30 min. and so on) plus an option of have the contents written at system shut down.
I have played with one before and found it Kludgy, as it slowed boot and shutdown immensely(while waiting for contents to be written and read at shutdown & boot).
