    Just a question, would a raid drive help boost the performance of FS2004?

    My personal opinion is that i don't use or accept any kind of boosters in general.I know I'm a bit categorical to but as i said its only my opinion.

    Maybe it would be better to check and disable some other useless programs running on background of your system , before you start use any kind of boost programs or drivers... Wink

    Hi Greekman72, thanks for your reply other than my vid card this machine runs tip top and runs fs2004 perfectly. Because im trying to tweak the performance up one more notch i was just inquiring the use of raid drives, my brother inlaw has one and its pretty fast i might buy one just to see if it makes any difference if not it will make a great secondary storage device.

    Sorry i misunderstand that you were talking about SATA drives.Embarassed
    (My bad English strikes me again Hit with Chair )
    Obviously raid drives are faster than IDE ones but I'm curious to learn if there is difference in FS performance.
    I'm sure that FS will load faster and with a combination of a good GFX you graphics will load faster too.But i don't know you will notice any improvement to graphics performance. Rolling Eyes

    Let us know about the results you will notice.I'm sure they will be interesting. Sorry for the misunderstanding again... Embarassed
