SuperSpeed Software ,to speed up machines,Scam or legit?
[color=blue]
solution for reads and writes in the World for the Windows family of
Operating Systems. The software creates a virtual disk drive to store
files in non-swapable RAM memory.
RamDisk can improve performance by up to 50 times!

That's just a RamDick utility which allows you to create a virtual disk in
RAM. I'm pretty sure you can find free alternatives, and one thing they
dont' mention in the advertisement is that once the computer turns off, all
the data is gone as it was staying in volatile memory (RAM). A hard disk
doesn't behave that way.

Close enough, we knew what you meant. A RAM disk can improve performance in
certain situations but they don't usually improve performance across the
board. The problem is that you are setting aside a large block of your
system RAM to emulate a disk drive. This forces Windows to use virtual
memory more often, which can degrade overall performance of your system.
