a) looking though the screenshots of cacheman - you might be better off with just disabling ntfs access time updates - I can see some potential problems or just placebo from using a 1 gb cache for I think ~6gb of data - plus you are adding a layer of indirection on the filesystem lookups. What we really need to find out is if these caches work on whole files or blocks - cause if blocks then it could be very helpful. Guess it all depends - but I would do ramdisk or cache alone first, so you can judge the benefits without stepping on toes between the two systems. b) For all making symlinks hdd->ramdisks - while it may be a little harder to setup, but it would probably be faster to have the root arma folder on the ramdisk and link to the the bulk on the hard disk. I.E. no links from hdd->ram. c) For all who are analyzing file access, it would be helpful if you post your data back in this thread. Not everyone is going to have 8gb of free ram, so we should narrow down the most accessed pbos
