It's nice to have a vendor that responds to questions on the form here!
Thank You

Any benefit to installing RAM drives larger than 512 GB (I noticed Amazon sells RAM drives up to 1 TB. Would increasing RAM drive storage capacity give faster or more beneficial results? Thanks.

GiMeSpace RAM Temp Folder is a small app that **may** speed up *some* software. It's based on the use of a very small ramdisk -- basically the same thing as a virtual hard disk, only this fake disk is stored entirely in memory [RAM], rather than as a single file on a physical hard disk. There's a nice article on What is a RAM Disk here: kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/what-is-ram-disk . For a good explanation of what GiMeSpace RAM Temp Folder does, read the readme.txt file in the program's folder -- when you click Help on the app's control panel that's the file that opens.

That said, GiMeSpace RAM Temp Folder creates a small RAM disk and uses it to temporarily store some of the data that software [Not Windows] would write to Windows temp folder, and then writes that data to disk, minimizing the risk that comes from RAM being volatile storage, where everything is lost once power is interrupted. The speedup comes from RAM being the fastest way you can read/write/store data. To be of benefit to whatever software you're running, reading and/or writing data to the temp folder would have to be a bottleneck, with whatever processing waiting until that was accomplished. All you can do is try it and see if it helps. There are no settings and no complicated setup, like there might be with other RAM disk software.

Installing GiMeSpace RAM Temp Folder adds the program's folder in Program Files (x86), along with a folder is Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\. As far as I can tell the registry gets 2 keys for the app plus one for uninstall -- monitoring the installation in a Win11 VM I recorded over 200k new entries in HKLM as a couple of hives were rewritten, so it's possible I missed something.

I really wanted to try this. Of course, I had to disable Bitdefender for 5 minutes while I installed it. Then I rebooted my PC (Windows 10 64bit). I tried loading my main browser, which is Firefox, but it would not load. I then tried Windows Edge and Slim Browser. They both opened.

Unfortunately, I "need" to use Firefox. I will remove your program from my windows startup for now, hoping you will respond with a suggested fix for me to get Firefox to work with your program.

Thanks, Mark (a retired database programmer).

Just want to say that this company offers some very interesting software.

It is good software if you run a few applications only, otherwise it can not accommodate large d-base files. It does not crashes the system, but slows it down by constantly loading new parts of the software.
You can solve that problem by installing RAM drive(s) like EVO 512GB and copy on it your most used software, problem for space solved and your SSD will thank you for it. It works very fast, because the software is already pre-cashed.

Is this not a huge security risk if a stack trace in RAM can be viewed as a file?

Any activity the RAM such as paypal password, credit card details, encrypted connection keys could be parsed and sent to another location in theory.

What measures are taken to ensure that nobody can view critically private details without being detected?

Cheers

please tell me this is an old program.
With SSD is this program not useless
please correct me if I am wrong.
If you do correct me give evidence of more than .0022 second savings

Sounds like the version given is limited to maximum RAM folder of 128 MB while the pro version allows more. 128MB quite limited in my view. I often find 512 MB to 1 GB stuff in the Temp folders in my case.

Interesting concept. Indeed, even with RAM availables so much shows up in temp folders.

Very good and transparent documentation on the product page, providing all details as well as caveats**.

I am still to try the software. Am most worried about potential crashes and blue-sceens resulting from this type of programs that use DLL injection. I do note however that the program is applied only for user applications, not system applications, so I am guessing crashes would not be a worry.

A question for the developer: I use a separate partition for temp files with the path specified in the environment settings. I can map this folder to RAM using the program. Windows however still creates many files in Windows/Temp, System32/Temp, Local Settings/Temp folders. Can those also be mapped to RAM?

** For the developer: There seems some typo in "However if you work on a 32bit windows version the maximum file size that can be handled is only 4MB because the address space on 32bit Windows is very limited." mentioned there. As I understand, the limit should be 32-bit limit should be 4GB, not 4MB. And 4GB should be plenty for most users of Windows, whether 32-bit or 64-bit.
