Linux likely employs two swap partitions with identical priority, functioning similarly to RAID0. It's possible Windows could achieve this as well.

It seems you're comparing RAM disks with virtual memory/paging files. A RAM disk offers faster access for applications, while virtual memory uses disk space as an extension of RAM. Choose based on your performance needs versus storage constraints.

You're welcome. I'll need to explore further to compare the two approaches.

Currently, you need around 16GB of RAM to fully disable the pagefile. I added an extra 8GB specifically for this purpose.

Currently I have just 8GB of system memory. In the near future I plan to add another RAM module, aiming for around 12GB temporarily.
