    Heck yeah! It was super easy to set up with AIM Toolkit.

    I think 16GB of RAM would be sufficient for most any game computer to do it this way—I’d allocate like .75 to 1GB on my 16GB machines.

    My main game computer has 32, so I allocated 2GB since I never come close to touching it!

    I was looking at the RAM drive’s properties in Wandows and was giggling after clicking on the “ReadyBoost” tab. Gotta use that RAM drive as a buffer between RAM and SSDs!

      Just in case any Linux users see this: (and for my own convenience as I’ve just learned how to do it!)

      sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G tmpfs /wherever/blah/

      It only uses as much RAM as the files actually consume, the size option is just an upper limit. Set Steam to record to the same directory. Add NoSwap to the -o (options) if you want to prevent any disk use.

      Works great.
