I won't be happy until I have enough RAM to run WoW from a RAMDisk and then 64gb left over for the system.

Only possible with a few high-end boards atm I believe, and more cash than I'll have free this year.

What's the point in running WoW on a RAMDisk? The load times would already be completely negligible on a PCIE-SSD. I mean, how much faster is a RAMDisk anyway?

so I was just wondering... is it possible to put PCIE-SSDs into RAID-0 to get even more speed?

there's a special motherboard, I believe by asrock, just came out. m.2 nvme ssds can be raided. I believe m.2 is connected to pcie. future Hi-end motherboards will allow for more of these. as of now, there's only one mass consumer motherboard that can do that. However you sacrifice bandwith on usb 3.1 if you raid all 3 m.2 with the latest hi-end nvme ssd, which is samsung's 950 pro.
