As von Pilsner said, use his link for the answer.

If you have 32Gb RAM (nice!) you can practicaly run everthing you want using a RAMDISK

With so much RAM (I am getting jealous...) you do not need to spend money on a SSD drive [unless if you want to use a SSD for your Win7 OS].

RAMDRIVE is a fantastic tool and in combination with the Link Shell Extension it is an excellent way to speed up loading times and avoid any delays due to HDD slow access (if no SSD).

What is the fastest way:
An SSD for Win7 + an SSD for your apps
But because SSDs are still small (capacity-wise) you are always better off with:
An SSD for Win7 + a 2Tb HDD for your apps + RAMDRIVE images

~S~

PS. I had solid improvement using RAMDRIVE+Link Shell Extension. Not in speed but in smoothness of play.
