Table 3.1 in Windows SDK 3.0 Installation Guide shows the following as recommended (for development, of course): Standard mode RAM size SMARTDrive RAMDrive 1 MB 0 0 2 MB 0 0 3 MB 512 512 4 MB 1024 1024 .... 8 MB 2048 3072 .... 12 MB 4096 4096 386 Enhanced mode RAM size SMARTDrive RAMDrive 1 MB 0 0 2 MB 0 0 3 MB 512 0 4 MB 1024 0 .... 8 MB 2048 2048 .... 12 MB 4096 4096 For Windows in purely end-use, no development work, there is probably no point in having such a large RAMDrive.
