Hi Peter and Mani,

I am one of those few dummies out there running XXHE on W7. Cannot wait to hear it on Vista. But then, I tried installing 0.9-z2 on Vista Business 32 bit without success.

Could anyone please give a dummy instruction to do a lite installation of Vista and step-by-step set up of RAMDISK.

I have W7 and Vista on the same PC.

I am running AMD X4 965 quad core, Gigabyte 880 GA-UD, Radeon HD 5770, Lynx Studio AES 16, 60GB SSD for OS alone, 2TB HHD for Data and 1TB HHD for W7 and other game/video applications.

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

I don't know whether anyone will do this (may be too much work), but *if* someone does it, please create a new topic for it, and I will make it a sticky.

That RAMDisk benchmark someone posted here was run on a very old hardware so I've re-run it with best 3 on not-so-old hw (CoreDuo 2.2Ghz).

Top row NTFS, bottom FAT16.
From left to right: QRam Enterprise, GillSoft, DataRAM.

Not much difference between 3 packages except it seems that:

1. DataRAM consistently slower. (but also significantly lower DPC latency on 4K test!)
2. NTFS consistently slower.

So, going with FAT seems a no-brainer. Not only is it faster but it leaves more usable memory (notice NTFS ate 22MB on disk with no data).
Other than that, choosing one is a personal preference.
I've picked QRam as it has a ton of options on which part of RAM to use (might come in handy one day) and is cheaper than Gill (or free if you re-install once a quarter or so)...

The best way the apply RAMDisk:

First set the partition-size and fat32, then do nothing, reboot (or maybe 2 times)

Then you have image space (extra hdd) on your RAM, then copy the complete xx folder to that location.
next, setup xx with all settings that are needed, including your key.

Then go to the second tab in RAMDisk, Load and Save, and press "Save Disk Image Now" and select checkbox "Load Disk Image at Startup"
Reboot

Then finally select checkbox "Save Disk Image on Shutdown"
Reboot

Its about all those reboots that are needed, but when up and running it will work nice.

This seems superfuous, but is not; It will avoid copying the XX stuff to the RAMDisk again (maybe two times); no big deal, but setting those settings each time is not a nice thing.
Moral : first wait until the RAMDisk shows up automatically after a reboot (thus, maybe two), and when that works, copy in the XX data, set the settings, and finally check that box "Save Image on shutdown" and also save the Image at that point. This latter again is "necessary" because each change (like from the mentioned checkbox) is only dealt with *after* the reboot. So, just one step too late in fact.

Like Roy said : when it works, it keeps on working. Really a nice tool IMO.

What kind of problems have you encountered trying to install XX on your Vista partition? Just wondering cause I'm planning the same with my desktop.

Boleary,

Did you say somewhere (i don't now were) that you would explain how to shut off services? I use my pc for music only and would like to play around a bit with those. If it ends up in a new install from Vista so be it.

i do not now if it is a lot off work but it would really be appreciated! (maybe a few screenshots)?

Wasn't me that talked about shutting off services; recently its mostly been Marcin, Nick, Roy and other knowledgeable folk. Most of those recent descriptions can be found in this thread and in the "We all Fell in the W7 Pitfall" thread.

Hey guys - anybody spent some time listening to different RAMdisks?

I mean, this whole thing really makes no sense at all: as XX is pre-loading files into RAM before playing it should not matter, right?....ugh, then it should also not matter if HD/SDD is used......yet, it seems everyone here is noting a difference and mostly positive ones to boot ....gosh....

But, if we assume that RAMdisk makes a difference (even though it should not), could it be that different RAMdisks sound different too? (even though it should not matter at all?)

Indeed, Raj suggested that this was the case and, specifically, he found GiliSoft preferable to Dataram. Was anybody else here brave enough to venture into this highly improbable realm?.....No? Happy

Well, why playing with benchmarks I also played same tracks from different RAMdisks and, as much as I hate to admit, it would seem that Raj could be onto something...

Contrary to Raj, though, I just can't stand Gilisoft....in short, found it too 'mechanical'....
On the other hand, Dataram was good but maybe just a bit 'thinnner' than QRam which I preferred in the end......

OK, I know this sounds weird (to say the least, LOL) but then I looked a bit under-the-covers and it seems RAMDisks go about their memory allocation differently: it seems that both Dataram & Gili rely on 'local device driver' memory (which is a bit of a no-no per MS recommendations when it comes to such large allocations, btw) whereas QSoft defaults to Kernel non-paged pool (although it can be configured to behave in similar manner or use Kernel Paged-pool instead...)

Now, in theory, this _could_ make a difference if one has a swap file.... I don't, so I'm stumped...

Anybody tried this? (or care to explain why this is all a placebo, please?... Happy

OK, I know this sounds weird (to say the least, LOL) but then I looked a bit under-the-covers and it seems RAMDisks go about their memory allocation differently: it seems that both Dataram & Gili rely on 'local device driver' memory (which is a bit of a no-no per MS recommendations when it comes to such large allocations, btw) whereas QSoft defaults to Kernel non-paged pool (although it can be configured to behave in similar manner or use Kernel Paged-pool instead...)

Now, in theory, this _could_ make a difference if one has a swap file.... I don't, so I'm stumped...

Anybody tried this? (or care to explain why this is all a placebo, please?... Happy

I use the swap. but I dont have that much time to try unhappy

Hi all,

Me also back at work, after a long period without a job.
 Happy

So have to take some steps back now, although i will follow everything closely.
But unfortunately I can spend less time on testing and such.
