My system has 32 gigs of memory and I have a utility called RamDisk that creates a virtual drive in ram.

I am trying to discover if this extra ram can be used to realize any performance increase with COD.
I am curious if anyone has knowledge about how COD uses ram? Will COD use whatever ram is available and continue to fill the ram with scenery, sound and special effects files?
If the \STEAM\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ folder is only 4 gigs total, which would easily fit into a virtual ram drive of, say, 5-6 gigs, can the program be launched and executed from ram or, will COD have to be "installed" into a virtual ram drive to run from memory?
If it does have to be installed, this should be doable because the RamDisk utility has the ability of loading a saved disk image at boot up.
Any ideas or info from the experts about how COD uses ram would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
BTW, I tried copying the complete \STEAM\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ folder into the ram drive and ran the launcher from ram, but based on the amount of hard drive access, COD still seemed to be running from the hard drive....even after I renamed the folder on the hard drive.
