[QUOTE="Serious Noize, post: 771973, member: 18080"] I wanted to ask if there is a command line option for Chrome to where you can make the amount of Ram Chrome uses in the Ram Disk to clear itself out when it runs out of space. Not sure if I explained that right. Example, you have Chromes cache running in a 1GB Ramdisk, it works great, with one exception, if you start to watch a streaming movie or something that eventually fills up the cache and you have the Cache set to 1GB, once the cache fills up it stops streaming until you manually clear the cache. I could increase the size of the Ramdisk, I have the memory to do so, but I don't want to do that. Just wondering if there is an AUTOMATIC command line option for Chrome to prevent the cache from filling up like that? I looked a bit on the net but couldn't find one for command line options and ramdisk. Thanks in advance for anyone with this information. :) I would also like to mention that Opera now works using a Ramdisk with the same settings that are mentioned here for Chrome. Just thought I would mention that for anyone who did not know. And for those of you who do not know this : You can get a great FREE Ramdisk software with no limitations. Just go to this link and download what is the last FREEWARE version of SoftPerfects Ramdisk : [URL='https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/softperfect_ram_disk.html']Last Freeware Version of SoftPerfects Ramdisk[/URL] Although it warns you that it doesn't work well with CCLEANER when running it the first time. That's why I use Privazer now. Anyway, just thought I would ask about the Cache issue and mention a few other things that some of you might find useful. [/QUOTE]
