    Arma 2 has to be installed on the SSD for it to have an effecnt correct?you cant install arma on a second harddrive and launch the game threw the SSD.

    Yes and No.

    Nope it doesnt need to be installed on the drive.

    However, you do need arma on the SSD.

    So, a simple copy your ArmA dir to the ssd, and lauch arma from the SSD and youre done.

    A complete reinstall isnt neccesary.

    Don't bother for me, unless someone else is interested, I just came back from the shop with the X25-M 80GB :yay:

    Whats the rest of your specs zoog? and, do you have your OS on the ssd?

    i have the 120gb OCZ xtreme.

    it might be nice to do some testing to see the performance difference in reallife benchmarks.

    Same for you deadeyez! you have an ocz agility, i got the Vertex series. ( http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid_state_drives/ocz_vertex_ex_series_sata_ii_2_5-ssd )

    All these drives have different write speeds. it might be interesting to compare

    ----------

    Above you see a hwinfo32 systemdump.

    i just installed the OCZ Vertex (oh boy its friggin fast) and arma2 runs WAAAAAY smoother now.

    Before this new ssd disk, i runned arma from a ramdisk (4gb) and 2gb for OS.

    that runned quite smooth, but not on high resolution. i saw 'slow textures' often.

    Now, i have the full 6gb for the os, and all running from a superfast ssd. ( according to my first few expiriences. )

    i will be testing more, and again with a smaller ramdisk for fewer pbo's.

    i will post some youtube movies later on, but first i have to install the rest of my software office, fraps, cs4 etc...

    For those interested : my windows performance index

    Processor : 7.5

    Memory : 7.5

    Graphics : 7.4

    GameGfx : 7.4

    Harddisk :7.0

    My score is 7.0 out of 7.9

    Before the ssd it was 5.9

    Arma2mark scores for all 5 tests

    26.8338

    42.0297

    34.5173

    46.8567

    25.4942

    My score 3514.63

    i dont know why first test is slow, it stuttered for the first 2 seconds.

    maybe because i alt-tabbed and started the mission?!

    BTW: Bangtail, if your 'BLACK' outruns my ssd, i'll post a vid of me eating my shoe.
