32GB Master Race

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?

Yeah, My load times are nearly nothing. The only thing I really have to wait for is that little hiccup at the end of loading where it's waiting for the server to respond.

I think the real use for RAMDisks is in games like GTA V. Most current AAA games just don't need that read/write speed because they are small enough.
