The Super Mod. Awesome Acceleration for the DivX Web Player, Flash, and Firefox!

Try these mods, it doesn't take long. Your web browser will blaze past your friend's. DivX Web Player will run much better, and operate as smooth as yet possible. It works for everyone, at least with windows. There is no Ramdisk software with img backup for MAC. So these tips work for Mac too, minus the ram memory mods.

You'll have the fastest web browser running through your RAM memory. Also you'll have The DivX Web Player installed, and running solely off RAM, however it will still buffer on your hard drive. It's snappy, like never before.

install a FAT 32 Ram disk, make it as big as you can spare. Make it at least 250mb or more. My Ramdisk is 700MB.

This particular ram drive software lets you save the drive to an img file on your drive, so that you can install apps ans programs in your ramdisk, and they will be saved, along with their settings.
Tip: Keep your data ram program screen up in the background, you'll set it to load from the img file at start up, and to save to the img file upon shut down.
Tip: you can also save along the way if you want

Anyway, now you have a G drive. Go get the best pre-release of firefox which for windows it is Minefield 3.7a1.

Install it to your G drive, you may have to hit custom install on some things, to change your install to the G drive. Tip: you're only changing out the Drive letter to G, from C usually. Then just install it as normal. All your Firefox settings carry right over from older versions by the way. So I assume and take for granted you've modded your about:config options in firefox for faster web already. If not, find a guide online and do so.

Grab the following add-ons if you don't have them:

Faster Fox Lite
Nightly tester tools
Vacuum Places (Improved)

Install your minefield/firefox cache to your G ram drive, Many places show you how, here's one:

Okay, go get firefox ultimate optimizer 1.1 if you don't already have it.

You must use this optimizer. See the pictures on the forum and read why. You need to make a directory in your programs file on your ram disk for it. Once it's setup in ramdrive G, then create a shortcut and add it to your desktop if you want. You should also make it to start up whenever your PC boots.

Now get the application called firefox preloader. Important: Once you've installed this in your ram drive, you'll still need to go into the option menu for the preloader, and manually find firefox, which of course is now called "minefield". Preloader has a setting to auto start when you turn on your computer built into it. Use that setting.

Tip: Don't auto start your browser, clicking works better to start it, let it focus on the other stuff upon boot.

Install Bywifi on your G drive next. Then once installed, go into Bywifi options and change buffering directory letter to G. hit okay, let Bywifi reset to load changes. That adds your Bywifi cache folder to your G RAM.
Tip: That's the BywifiShare folder. You'll want that always open, you'll have to delete all the files often, depending on how big you made your RAM Disk. It can only be set about as low as 550 MB. If you can set your Ram Drive very large, then you can certainly set it to 550MB, and thus the cache will clear itself out when it's full.

Bug Note: Hopefully the bug that won't let us set Bywifi's cache limit under 550 mb will be fixed. If we can say, set the cache to a limit of 120 MB, then it will delete the last stuff for you. It's supposed to work like that, but for now it resets back to default 2048MB (2GB) limit if you set it under about 550mb. It only needs about 100mb to run cache though, and under 15mb to install. Soon that bug should be fixed, then we can just "set it and forget it".

Now uninstall the DivX Web Player(from your hard drive with slow moving parts). Then go ahead and install your favorite current version of DivX Web Player to your blazing fast G drive.

Now just save your back up img file for your Ram disk.

Last step, wait for it... AWESOMENESS!

Warning: it is possible to have your img file mess up. Likely it can happen if you've interrupted it's saving process.
So only load stuff in your Ram Drive that you can afford to have mess up. That way, if worst comes to worst, and your img file got corrupted, you can just start over from scratch and make a fresh Ram Drive. It's good to have backup versions of your applications installed on your hard drive just in case you need them.

I've personally noticed massive improvements, and so can you. Have fun with it.
