RAMDisk FAQ and info thread

I'm doing some amateur configuration and testing on my own using an 1150 single core AMD, Q6600 and i7 920.
Just bought 12GB of DDR3 for i7 and I must say i really flies.

One thing I noticed that on 32bit vista, I cannot use the Superspeed RamDisk when I choose the option "use ram not managed by windows" It just BSODs whenever I read or write to it. Curious as to why this option exists then. It doesn't work on all my systems, so its not a botched up windows install.
I'm using 64bit for all the tests, because of it...

What do you guys want me to test?
I can do 4-5GB Ramdisk on DDR2 systems and 8-9GB on i7...
 
SS Ramdisk question:
Assuming xp32 with 4gb physical ram, 3.25 recognized.
Will this program allow you to use the extra .75gb for a small pagefile, or browser cache to take some hits off an SSD?
 
I dont know the exact options for it...i just know that SS supports it.
I have been running x64 for 4 years so I havent had to deal with that crap
