Turn Your PC into a Super Computer for Running Large Programs and Games!
If you're one of the 10 million people worldwide who have used FarStone's VirtualDrive software, you won't be surprised to know that VirtualDrive Utility & Burning Suite is a lot more than just a CD/DVD burning program. In addition to the CD/DVD burning features you'll find in most other CD utility packages, VirtualDrive Utility & Burning Suite adds value by giving you two unique, additional features: CD/DVD emulation and Hard Drive emulation.
CD/DVD emulation is the technology that FarStone pioneered. It lets you store images of your CD/DVD programs on the hard drive so you can access them without the CD/DVD drive or the actual disc.
Hard Drive emulation enables you to utilize your computer's memory (RAM) to create a "Virtual Hard Drive" and increase your computer's file transfer speed up to 340 times!
