Hello! Thanks so much for this wonderful FOSS! I'm a novice ImDisk user, I'm currently using the RAM disk feature for my ShadowPlay temporary files folder so that ShadowPlay isn't constantly writing to my SSD while the instant replay feature is enabled. I've just one question, obviously I don't want the content of the RAM disk being written to the page file, is there any downsides to using AWE physical memory? It's disabled by default so it has spiked my curiosity as to if there are any limitations or not.
Even without AWE, it is unlikely that your ramdisk is written to the page file if the ramdisk content is actively used.
AWE is a bit slower because it requires extra system calls.

I use the Physical memory option and I've had little to no issues.
