How to make Eve-Online utilise a RAM disk

Preamble

If you have a 32bit Operating system and more than 3.25Gb RAM you will not be using all that RAM - this can be utilised by utilities such as SuperSpeed 9

1. If your RAM disk is set to be h: and you have installed eve to c:\games\Eve, make yourself a .bat File [i.e. RAM-EVE.bat]
   
   

   @echo off
   

   Set ram=h:\
   

   set Char=noone
   

   if NOT "%1"=="" set char=%1
   

   set home=%ram%%char%
   

   mkdir "%home%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE"
   

   mkdir "%home%\My Documents"
   

   Set USERPROFILE=%home%
   

   Set HOMEDRIVE=%home:~0,2%
   

   Set HOMEPATH="%home:~2%"
   

   Start "EvE" "c:\games\eve\Eve.exe"
   
   

2. Create a shortcut and when it asks for the target point it at this batch file and add a character to the end of it i.e.
   
   

   c:\games\RAM-Eve.bat CharacterName
   
   

3. Run eve by the use of this batch file - you can have several short cuts all with different names and this will keep all the setting separate- DO NOT forget to back this drive up as your settings will be lost after a power cycle [unless you automaticlly save the contents of this drive]
