I just brought my RAM up to 24 gigs on a machine running Windows 7 Home edition, but found out that particular OS will only support 16 gigs RAM maximum. I COULD just upgrade Windows, but had just read about RAM hard drives. As a workaround, could I create a RAM hard drive out of the extra 8 gigs, and designate that as virtual memory? Would it have the same effect as just using the extra RAM?

Rexxed posted:It won't be the same as having more ram because the system will treat it as paging to disk so it won't use it most of the time. It may help a bit if you do end up paging to disk but bear in mind that extra RAM does nothing unless you need it. It's not like processor speed or RAM speed where more is almost always better, it will do nothing until you fill it up. I kind of have to ask though, if you've got a machine that regularly goes over 16GB of RAM usage why is it still on Windows 7, and home edition worst of all? It's probably time to upgrade it to Windows 10. It's a computer that's been used sparingly for low-level office stuff up until recently, but I was trying to upgrade it for use with Adobe Premiere. (I was holding on to Windows 7 for the sake of my girlfriend, who uses it too and is kind slow to learn new computer stuff.)

Speaking of keyboards, I've got a laptop keyboard with dead keys. I've already replaced the keyboard but the issue persists. What else could it be?
