Running games/programs directly from RAM? - Linux Kernel - Jun 20, 2011
Any way to do this? I have 4GB of RAM and would like to play games or run programs directly from it - i've heard by doing this can increase it's perfromance by a lot!
How can I do this?

You can make part of your ram into a disk.
I guess you can then install it on the RAM disk.
But files on RAM disks delete everytime the computer is turned off.
Hope I helped

This is true, however it isn't very practical. Any games big enough to need this would take to long to set up every time you turn your computer on, I suggest upgrading other components instead.

Yeah that's what I meant :)
Plus with 4GB RAM the games you could install would be pretty small, and small games don't really need the super speed of RAM to run.

The game I have in mind to run is Minecraft - why? Because on linux it runs like a beauty and on windows it runs like SHIT!
I have a 2.16Ghz laptop with 4GB Ram and 1gb family chip gfx card.
So I thought maybe i could run the whole game and saves on RAM to increase performance.
