I am thinking about putting some laggy/slow mo levels in the RAM disk.  Which levels do you think I should put in RAM disks.  Pick from the official mods only.  Thanks. Tongue

An execellent thought!

Please, before you create RAM disk copies of the levels could you grab some figures for fps benchmarks? I'd like to glean some idea of exactly how this process might contribute to performance.

Shall do.  I think it will increase performance.  When I uprade from 4200 to 5400 to 7200rpm, I had a performance boost in each upgrade.  However, since each level take so much space, I have to be specific.  I have only 256 Mb ram to spare.  So I am thinking about only putting the laggy level in the RAM disk.

The greatest risk, is to not take a risk.

What is the difference in having the files in the applications/ghost recon folder or having them in a RAM disk.  I cant see what the diffirence , there from the same disk....  Unless im not on the right track.

After a bit of searching on the apple site.  I found this article about RAM Disk.  It seems that RAM disk improve performance.  Its an OS 9 article but i guess its cool for OS X aslo.

OK,

I think the following have the worst frame-rate:

C08
D02
D03
D04
M10
M13
M14

I will try to make a Ram disk and see if there is any improvement.

If you're relying on a RAM disk, you're not going to get much of a performance improvement from anything.

Btw, RAM discs are not in OS X to my knowledge.
