I have an understanding of what it is, but I am no expert. To my understanding it is carving out a secured amount of memory on your RAM that can be utilized by your computer as a readable/writable space. The data, if chosen to, can be saved in an image and used repeatedly.
I used it for a while when I was playing my Bard to resolve some lag. I have had concerns about using that sort of solution too long term as I don’t know specifically its ability to wear the hardware down.

Yes, you are RUNNING your client in the RAMdrive. you are storing the RAMdrive image on your HDD or SSD. RAMdrive can not be a storage device, it is transient. In EQ terms RAMdrive is NoRent.
Others have hinted at it with some low level snark, but I will come out and say you don't really know what you are talking about. I am no expert on the subject either but am not advertising myself as one on YouTube.
Aside from all that, yes running the client and it's logs in RAMdrive would certainly improve the performance. READ/WRITE times are greatly reduced.
