Anyone have experience with this new product called DimmDrive?

I was just browsing through Steam and up popped a new "memory management" tool called DimmDrive, which integrates with Steam and allows you to run games (or portions of a game) in a Ram Drive. Ram Drives are by no means a new idea, but this is geared towards games and decreasing their load times. All right, I’m totally intrigued. As I’ve written before, my game rig is an 8-core AMD FX8350 with 32GB of ram and it’s pretty damn fast already. It has regular spindle drives with no SSD, so I wonder if I could squeeze out some more speed with DimmDrive? I’ve been reading through a few forums and I’m not playing first person shooters, but rather racing games like Dirt 2/3, Next Car Game, Assetto Corsa and Grid Autosport.

I have 1 hour buildings, 3 hour, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 18, 24, 26 and 48 hour collection times. Adding another 10 hour building to the mix doesn’t phase me. However, how good is this building? Well, to upgrade fully is $13 Billion which is a ton. The payout is pretty reasonable at $24 Million, but I see some loss of income due to this getting robbed. You’ll easily miss one of the collection times. If you have modifiers, you can get $40 Million which puts it right in line with the Tree Lot. That makes it pretty good for building up your income, but there […]

I just saw this list and got both the -10% Build Time and the -50% Bank Deposit. I had no idea these were out there, so pick and choose what you want.

Mods dropping from maps: 1) Club District     Dick Wicked     The Corpse Maker     +50% cash from robberies     (5×136)     -OR-     Restaurant Row     Chef Roussel     (3×118) 2) Liberty Park     Nicky Kneecaps     Street Demon     -10% build time     (3×72)     -OR-     The Waterfront     Ice Cream Shop     (1×12) 3) South End Projects     Viper Lee     Blackout Rpg     +30% Jobs Payout     (6×120)     -OR-     Artist Quarter     Agent Logan     (2×88)     -OR-     Westside     Ronnie Cohen     (4×124) 4) […]
