[quote=Michellangelo;225758]I have SSD HDD, but this solution is slower than RAMdrive. Thats why i bought 24 GB RAM for RAMdrive. [/Q

I hate to burst your bubble but once wow is loaded you cant tell the difrence between a ram drive and SSD. A SSD's read speed is up to 500 megs a second . A ram drive is not instantaious it has a maxium speed of about 1 gig a second.When you load a dungeon or a zone you are tranfering a very small amount of data between your hD and the computer between 100 and 200 megs of data. so a ssd would load it in 1/5ths of a second and a ramdrive 1/10th of a second, A human being can not tell the diffrence between 100 miliseconds and 200 miliseconds.
