  1. Moving desktop folder to a ramdisk to improve performance in win 10?


    I was reading a book called "Optimizing Windows for Games, Graphics, and Multimedia" by David L. Farquhar. And i was brought to a section talking about away that involves moving the desktop folder in windows to a ramdisk and that the ramdisk would have to be 1.5mb in order to do so and in return you'll have a speedy desktop.

    How would someone use this method with low end modern day computers?

    :)
