If we do use this, specifically the last all purpose 'cleaned' batch file, do we use that for each client we want to run? Anything else i would have to do to run multiple clients?

Heh, was going to try... went to check how big the ramdisk would need to be for my Cache folder... its 367MB, and 349 of that is in pictures. I like portraits, probably borders on OCD when i try to load portraits for every pilot in whatever system I'm in (234MB in portraits). But Gids is also quite large at 104MB.
So... would there still be benefits to using a RAMdrive for the other folders? And keep the portraits/gids in my HD?
I'll have to research this a bunch more... i was just dreaming of instant loading programs yesterday.
Another Edit:
Are junction points similar enough to symlink so that using the batch file is not necessary? It seems Vista will support symlink... if this comes in handy for other stuff i may have to look at upgrading (at some point!)

Also, wouldn't doing the same for the Logs folder be a good idea? That thing gets hit often...

Those batch files do work, assuming you get used to using them. (And don't lose power randomly.) What about a solution without having to use them at all?
Like this. It is free, restores the drive at power up, saves at intervals and/or shutdown, all kinds of settings... Seems really handy.

Hate to seem like I am going on about this, but just use the one batch file made by Di. Rename it EVE put in on your desktop, delete your old short cut and you are done. You only need one file it even auto starts EVE and when you close EVE all you do is select the window and press a key, and it saves the files. Works great...you can even change the icon if you don't like the .bat file look.
It works, but if you are like me, and start/shutdown EVE constantly it will be slower than just saving/writing the contents of the RAMdrive it at system startup and shutdown, which that program lets you do without thinking. You could make batch files and run them at startup (even automatically) and probably could write one to do so do the shutdown procedures and then turn off your computer, but the program does that too... Heck, you might be able to schedule a batch file to save the RAMdrive contents at whatever interval you want to the hard drive with the windows scheduler thing, but again, the program does that. Which is better? Eh... I'll use the program. It seems more convenient.

As i mentioned before, i like my portrait collection, but it is keeping me from using the RAMdrive for the whole cache folder... Would there be a way to delete all the x_256 portraits but keep the x_64?

Any free working ram drives that can be set to 128MB? I need at least that much for portraits and the rest of EVE.
