Just so you know any thing past a Gig of RAM dosen't help this game. I forget what the max amount of RAM that it will try and claim but its close to 1 Gig - Windows foot print. At least as of last Aug. I very much doubt its changed.

In fact I found out about this game from a client that couldn't get it to run for crap. I stuck it on a uBeR dual Xeon box with 4 Gigs just to get a feel for how much hardware it would suck up.

Really it comes down to having enough RAM and a fast path from your HD to your RAM. If your swap file is on a different drive than your SWG install that helps a lot too.

I'll agree and disagree. Once you hit 2gb you can all but nix that swap file on XP. XP unlike 9x/ME can use ram effectively up to 2gb I know for certain (rumor is 4gb but I can't verify that). Best investments I've made were my superfast mem from corsair and a Western Digital Raptor hard drive.

I totaly agre with you on the ditching of the swap file. But that is firmly in the advanced camp. You can tune around it any way.

In fact people trying that has made me a few bucks in the past few years

I'm still getting used to the idea that WD HDs aren't bottom of the barrle any more... they where sooo bad for so long.

These 9ish ms. seek time drives don't really fit my personal tuning style. The huge caches make up for it, but I still dig my 3.9 ms. I may have to stack a few to get the space I need, but they cook.
