Ramdrive sizing for image processing (Startools)

Seems I'm on a never ending quest updating things and trying to tweak bits and pieces for better results!

This weeks focus is my processing computer. I'm running DSS and Startools as my main programs and don't see this changing anywhere in the near future.

I've recently upgraded my boot drive to a Crucial ssd (480gb) and have retired the hdd's (approx 950gb) to be storage only. I've seen a significant increase in performance by doing this....boot time has gone from around a minute to 20-25 seconds. Programs are loading faster and Startools appears to be working quicker as well.

I've got some new ram coming tomorrow which will take me from 8gb to 32gb (got a good deal on it).

From what i read a ramdrive is the way to go for processing, Ivo (Startools) is pretty clear it's the best avenue.

My question is size.....I'll have 32gb available so what size should i assign to a Ramdrive?

Also what program do people use/recommend to use to create the drive? (free would be ideal!)
