Man that is a very old debate. The best way to get most out of your system is to buy more RAM and get an SSD.

Look, the way I see it, it all depends on how much of ram there is to spare or if the user is a serious multitasker or not. It also depends on the kinds of programs that he may run. Basically, you get the idea!!
If we imagine a scenario where there will be sufficient ram to spare at all times, then there's no point in setting up the virtual memory on any drive, let alone on the ram drive
