Calling this a unique feature of the ASUS X79 is false advertising. This is a feature "exclusive" to any system with memory.

[valvedray]

Every time i see this video, he gets fatter.

Can't explain that.

[nottinmatterz2day]

how do you setup the ram cache?

[Wrisky2]

what are the costs? will it run as fast over a networked common drive linking files with far less expensive systems, That is will a fast external drive be bottlenecked, where is the bottle neck. I'm ok with 'lazy write' in case of a freeze up. assuming the loss is less than 30 seconds of data. What I'd like is to have a second less expensive system using onlive desktop plus for five dollars a month providing accelerated web browsing, while using ram disk and ram cache on asus 79 second c

Great Idea but for an eight channel 64Gb kit of 2133 ram for the X79 boards, it costs roughly 1200 bones (that's two GTX 580's or 7990's and lunch) where as it costs 600 bones (one GTX 580 or 7990 and lunch) for a 32Gb kit of 2133 ram. Very expensive.

Here is a more practical question, how much performance can one get from a Ram Cache of 8 to 16Gbs as that's more common among systems and its a cheaper alternative.

Bottom line, I want lunch.

@zpardos

This is a UNIQUE feature built into this motherboard that caches more efficiently and not with the overhead of some crappy software.

[ammo769]

can you do a step by step on how to set up ram cach.

thaks

[ammo769]

your vids are great but it sounds like you are in a tunel. LOL

[daveyboytellem]

wow.....those are insane speeds, and everyone complaining he didnt tell you how to enable it he said go to the forums and theres write ups, sorry you have to actually read and cant just watch a video

[Vestechio]

This video is USELESS. It fails to provide basic info such as how to setup caching and/or a RAM drive.

[Vestechio]

This video is utterly useless. Obviously RAM caching improves performance. The person speaking didn't answer BASIC questions: 1) How to enable RAM virtual drive / caching 2) What data and apps do users usual

[masterchief3k]

How did they get 8 DIMM's stable without stressing the memory controller?
