You can tell they are supporting the idea.

Also, I'm planning to move to SSD, so would a pagefile.sys in RAM remove the wear on a SSD, make it last longer?

RamDisk Plus 11 has a most unique feature. Our patent pending technology can access memory beyond the limitation imposed by a Windows 32-bit operating system! In other words, RamDisk Plus 11 can use "unmanaged" Windows' memory e.g. above 4GB. It can also use the stubbornly inaccessable memory between 3.2GB and 4GB.

Q: How do I put a pagefile on a RAM disk?
A:
1. Right-click on "My Computer" and click on "Properties".
2. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
3. Click the "Settings" button in the "Performance" box.
4. Click on the "Advanced" tab in the "Performance Options" dialog window.
5. Click the "Change" button in the "Virtual Memory" box.
6. In the "Virtual Memory" dialog window
1. Select "RamDisk"
2. Select the "Custom size:" radio button
3. Set initial size and maximum size to be just a little smaller than the size of the RAM disk. Tip: Immediately above "Custom size:" is "Space available:" which is the size of RAM disk.
4. Select the drive that currently has the paging file.
5. Select the "No paging file" radio button.
7. Click "OK".
8. Restart the computer for the new settings to take effect.
Important: Pagefile support is available with RamDisk Plus 11 on 32 or 64-bit versions Windows 7, Vista or XP.
