Sure, the "benchmark" utility is just Gibson's SPINRITE v. 6.0. Under its settings, there is an option to "benchmark selected partition" which seems to be pretty good and thourough. I uploaded it at this link for you to test:

https://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm

This is where I get the 1.5GB/sec RDISK vs. the 53 MB/sec RDISKSX results.

EDIT: With Himemsx.exe loaded, and using your "copy" utility, I get the following results for a 768M file on a 1536M Ramdisk:

RDISK.COM: 303 ms read, 269 ms write
RDISKSX.COM: 13713 ms read, 9736 ms write

This is copying the file directly to the Ramdisk. not to an SSD or hard drive.

I'm still perplexed as to the vast disparity in XMS below / above 4GB barrier!
