when are you gonna reinstall your system.


let me know if it really makes a difference on BF2 loadtimes.

I bought another gig of ram (bringing my total to 2 GB), and a SATA HD. I first installed just the RAM to see what that would do. It made a pretty dramatic difference in overall gameplay. Load times seemed about the same, but the verifying client data part took significantly less. Also, once the verifying was finished, the game came right up and ran smoothly from the get-go. Unlike previously, there was no choppiness for five minutes and any time I spawned where I hadn't been before. Also, alt-tabbing is possible again! I don't have to kill off every process except "explorer" before bf2.

I then installed windows on my new HD. Clean reinstall of windows + not fragmented-to-shit HD + not crapy IDE interface = win. The fact that my o/s wasn't lagy and my HD wasn't fragmented helped some I'm sure, but the improvement in HD transfer bandwith (whatever IDE is vs. 1.5 GB/s) and more HD cache (8MB vs. 16MB) provided for another nice boost in load times and performance. Not nearly as dramatic as the RAM, mind you, but enough to be noticeable; it was a nice one-two punch in the end. I now spend more time loading the map than verifying client data, and am in-game faster than 90% of people on new map load.

Moar RAM will help the most if 1GB is all you have; a shiny new SATA HD will probably help a little. Or, if money is no issue, a shiny new Raptor will help a lot. I only bought the HD because I needed more space. I bought the RAM for bf2. But I still refuse to pay monthly for a video game...<OMG ROB INSERT CONTEMPT HERE>.
