What do you use for a RAM disk on Windows Server?

  • 772

We currently use AR Soft RAM Disk on some Windows 2003 servers for storing short lived temporary files.

Looking forward to a move to 64-bit Windows Server 2008 I'm wondering what options there are for a RAM disk since it appears AR Soft RAM Disk was discontinued in 2005.

I'm not looking for any physical disk backing, just a pure RAM disk that appears like a normal drive to Windows.

Does anyone have any experience with RAM disks on Windows Server 2008, especially for 64-bit?
