This weekend I did an experimental render on a 40s x 12frame x 320 x 240pixels animation of mine. Which I knew took about half an hour to render and produced a 100MB AVI file.

I used RamDiskXP(R) Version 2.0 from Cenatek to create a 200mb disk.

The file was rendered in batch mode to uncompressed AVI, once from the hard disk and once from the ram disk.

Hard disk took 37min 0.89s

Memory disk took 37min 6.64s

So my conclusion from this is that a software based RAM disk is unlikely to improve rendering times with Carrara 5.0
