Use a RAM drive to reduce stuttering

No RAMdisk attempt here yet either

i7-2600K
2 x 460s SLI 1GBea w/280.19beta
8GB
+vsync on

30-45fps

Yes. And more info:

- I change my old AM2+ motherboard for a decent AM3 one, and from 4GB DRR2 800 I jump to 8GB DR3 1333.

No other tweaks and changes in W7, VM, "Desktop Composition", just Aero disabled and Indexing.

Much better FPS and no more "abnormal" stutters at all. And after I tested with VM off, Desktop composition off, using RAMDISK... all the same.

I believe this issue is much less "HD related" than people think. More and faster RAM will do the trick if you don't have 3GB VRAM VGA until more work in high resolution texture streaming in CloD.

I'm really happy now with performance, just waiting for the new soud engine.
