i have been playing battlefield 2 for about a year and a half now, and i was wondering if installing battlefield 2 on my D drive would improve lag. My D drive has nothing on it but Battlefield 2, and would this atleast help with the loading an punkbuster verification of client data?
Does installing a PC game on a different drive besides "C" improve lag?
It depends on the cause of your "lag." If you are having network lag, there isn't much you can do other than get a better ISP.
Having BF2 on a different HDD should help some, but for a different reason than you probably think. It gets it on a different HDD than your Page File. So it should help some with loading from your HDD. Optimal would be to have 3 HDDs if you aren't using RAID. One for OS, one with Pagefile on it, one with BF2 on it. Each disk drive only has one read-write head, so having each thing being accessed on a separate drive can help speed things up.
Reply:lag is only caused by the computer recieving data over the internet and having it be delayed.
Reply:No it would not, lag deals primarily with network data.
