The space wouldn't be big enough to benefit recording I don't think. Graphic designers I think might benefit from the real 4GB ramdrives though. If Gigabyte would make an 8GB model it might be useful to gamers. 4GB is too small.
a RAM drive is a fake hard drive in RAM. so you make one with say 1GB. then you can read/write from a hard drive that is has the access speed of RAM. the problem is that when the power is cut, the data is gone.
The iDrive from Gigabyte solves that issue. It takes 4GB of pc3200 DDR1, occupies a pci slot (though the PCI slot is only used for power) and has a SATA interface. It has a built-in battery pack that lasts like 36 hours or something. But it only goes on battery when you unplug the PC. Even when your PC is "off", it will still receive power (as long as your little mobo light is on) from the PCI slot.
wait for SSDs. I'm just trying to figure out a better/faster way to process images on my current laptop. I wished there was some way to create a RAM drive when the program starts up and then process the images from there.
