Hi!
So using the instructions found http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1255299-skyrim-ramdisk-step-by-step-instructions/page__hl__ramdisk I placed every bsa of the vanilla (unmodded) skyrim game except textures.bsa onto a virtual RamDisk. I already noticed a dramatic decrease in loading times, and am loving it so far. But I want faster!
My ram disk is 4 gbs in size. I have 12 gbs of ram total, which gives me an option to choose from. Would I be better off purchacing the full version of the program used to create the ram disk, then creating a 8gb ram disk and copying some more of the files I use onto it? With my textures and all the mods, my skyrim data folder is about 25.5 gb, so I obviously could not place all of the files onto it. If this is the better option, which files would I be better off moving?
My other option is to buy an external SSD harddrive then move my entire skyrim folder onto that. The labtop I play on has usb 3.0 technology, so the ports are not an issue. This is the method I'd prefer, but I want to be sure that this will give me a bigger increase in performance and a decrease in load times before I spend money on one of these.

Thanks for the help! I would like to get a skyrim as seamless as possible, with very short load screens between my epic battles! You guys know what I'm talking about.

Post this on the PC section?

From what it looked like that was more for Issues about the game, and this isn't really an issue. But I will request to have it moved if people think that's a better place for it.

I think you would get a better response if it were in that forum.

I came into this thread thinking I'd get to vote on the best performance by a voice actor or something.

Ok I'll request to have it moved.
