Have some extra RAM, anything I can do to speed up my system?
One of my i-5 SSD laptops has 16GB ram win10 64bit education version. Most of the time only about 25% of the ram is used. I wonder if I can use some of the ram to speed up things. In the old DOS/Atari days I would have a ram disk and copy an entire floppy to the ram disk. What can I do with the extra ram now? I have some C/C++ programs that take time to compile because besides the compiling, they are all small but numerous files.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
