Hello Everyone, My workstation has solid specs and 64 GB of RAM, more than enough for REVIT, ETABS, Excel and other programs. I’m looking for a free or reasonably priced option to use the extra memory as a cache. I have RAMCache 3 on my home machine, which is an ASUS product, but it requires ASUS hardware to function properly, so it won’t work here. Do you know of any good alternatives? I’m not after a RAM disk that needs manual setup; I want a solution that automatically stores frequently used data for faster access. Also, a quick question: how does Windows 10 handle caching? Does it already provide what I’m seeking? As of now, my PC shows about 12.8 GB active, 49.7 GB cached, and 1.3 GB free. That suggests Windows is already storing many of the programs and files I use regularly, so perhaps a dedicated RAM cache isn’t strictly necessary? Thanks in advance for your help!

Windows handles this automatically. It aims to utilize available memory to store recently accessed files and those likely to be needed soon. That’s why you see the 49.7GB of cached information in RAM.
