Re: Windows Paging - 2 file solution?

I have put the pagefile on Primo Ramdisk because even with a large amount of RAM Windows sometimes access to pagefile so I have decided to put it on Ramdisk which is faster than hard disks and SSD's too https://www.tbsnews.net/tech/whats-fast ... ssd-446906

Re: Primo Ramdisk opinion

My drives are HDD but i'm also using an external SSD for PrimoCache L2 cache; the videogames I tested were Star Wars Battlefront II (before applying that settings I had a lot of HD thrashing and the game was stuttering like hell, even if the game was installed on the external SSD) and Middle-earth: ...
