Just upgraded to 32GB and I'm using SuperCache 5 with my Rampage IV Extreme. Just wondering if anyone has used this program before and if there is an optimal cache size I should adjust for. So far I"m using an 8GB cache.
 
I was thinking about buying that when I upgraded to 24GB of ram, so I am curious about the results you have had from it. Windows already caches a lot in spare ram, so it would be interesting to see if SuperCache does a noticeably better job. I only have 1281 MB of free ram right now with Windows using 17357 MB for cache.

I would determine how much memory you make use of, and then set up the rest as cache.
 
That's an incredible amount of cache you have windows using! You may not see that much of a boost I guess?? So far SuperCache 5 has been great. I noticed an immediate difference after it learned my program usage (an hour or so) and now things just load instantly.

Last night after a marathon gaming session on BF3 I did have one BSOD that I'm not sure what caused it. This system has been rock solid and I haven't had a single BSOD in the 2 weeks since I've built it. The server was changing maps when it happened, so I'm guessing SuperCache was the cause in some way. But who knows.
 
Does SuperCache 5 really make that much difference with you already having an SSD drive installed?
 
The more I use it, the more I notice a difference. While its not as dramatic as going from a mechanical, it is noticeable. BF3 maps load in mere seconds. Apps open instantly. It's sweet.
 
Is there any difference between supercache and fancycache? I used the fancycache demo and it seemed to glitch things up occasionally so I stopped using it, but I love the concept.
