November 5, 200817 yr HelloAfter some upgrades, I now have two HDDs. I have reformatted and would like to ask if FSX runs better on the boot drive or a separate drive? Or does it make much difference? I think my preference would be the second drive. I have upgraded ram(1066),added a 500gb HDD,and a middle of the road MB(MSI). A modest upgrade, but much better than I had.Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.
November 5, 200817 yr I've always found it to run better on its own second drive. Carl Hudson Intel i3 550 @ 4.20GHZ on Air with Arctic Freezer Pro 7 / Arctic Silver 5 - 4Gb Corsair XMS 3 - GIgabyte H55M-UD2H Motherboard - Asus GeForce GTX280OC 1Gb
November 5, 200817 yr Agreed...It will make minimal differences (if not none at all) when it comes to in-game smoothness and FPS performance, but having FSX on a separate physical drive will likely improve loading times a bit, especially with lower (2GB) amounts of RAM and when multitasking operations. -Greg
November 5, 200817 yr Bob, a heads-up if you haven't already seen it, but there's similar thread in the main forum with some dissenting opinion to this practice. http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...57333&mode=full Regards, Kendall#1: E8500 @ 3.95 - HyperTX2 Gigabyte P35-DS3L 4GB Ballistix Tracers PC6400 EVGA 8800GT - XG's 174.74 Seagate 250GB 7200.11 CH Yoke/Pedals/Saitek Throttle Dual Monitor: Dell 2405/1905 #2: Dell 8400 3.2 H.T. 3GB PC4200 - X800XT Diamond Xtreme/Logitech X-530's Regards, Kendall 7800X3D/G.B.

November 5, 200817 yr Author I saw it after I posted. But there is a little disagreement. That's what I want to find out.Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.
