My Reload Experience - a real improvement for me

Hello,While I wait for the FSX smoke to clear ( I have no intension of getting it for some time)I was getting frustrated with my "C" drive installation of FS9.1 (a lot of addons and not great performance). I have a rather high-end system (AMD 64 3500+ 1 gig of ram, 2 drives and two NVIDIA 6800 display cards in SLI mode - Big GOFLIGHT setup with CH yoke and pedals). I came across a post somewhere for the "Bloody Beginner's Guide to Realistic Flight SImulation V 1.02)"I read it - very simple document and decided to reinstall my FS9.1 per the document. Simply, the concept is to move it to the "D" drive - away from the swap files and system activity. I followed the very simple steps and this is my result:1. FPS up from 18 to 342. Load time for FS9 cut by 1/23. Flight load times down by 1/2Some of this is due to my NOT reloading a lot of my addons. But I did add, per the document, enough of my "complex" addons that used to get poor results and they are very improved. I did load:FSLIVE FSUIPC FSNAV ACTIVE CAMERAAll FSGENISIS Mesh 38 FT Seattle Scenery Flight Zone 2 SceneryGE PRO UT- USAFlight 1 - 172 PMDG B1900 C/D Feelthere B737 3/4/5B200 V2.1Eaglesoft ColumbiaI keep a "D" drive backup (Acronis True Image) as each phase is installed in case I mess up and have to roll-back. I'm no expert at this but my system improvement will allow me to sim fly with FS9.1 for a long time while the FSX hysteria settles down and the product can be evaluated for users like me - not real good at tweeking.Hope this helps someone a little,Cheers,Ronb SagelNEar KCHS
