computor issues with new stuff !
Question , stick,s come in 16 Gig,s and up , USB portals , more than enough room to hold the game files and all your planes , So I asked the Geek -- nephew , would it not be faster to load from a stick than the hardrive , is not a USB stick faster memory , sort of like Ram , Why then am I loading a 10 gig game onto a hard drive to slow my life down ?
He looked at me , rolled his eyes , pondered the question ,and replied in diplomatic term,s ,, Yes and No , Would you care to clairify the double answer ? I have to back this up now , you see he just got done building my machine , when I reminded him I needed the sound card port , for the M$s 3d stick , So that meant another mother board - for PCI slot --Having completed that mission , there was no port plug on the last mother board to accomadate , USB vr-III high speed portal , and of course I found this out when trying to install a back up hard drive , Guess What , yep , you can,t do that either , different cables and plugs in,s , on the new 500 gig hard drive ,
Ok then I pluged in the stick with all the files , and started the game from USB -2 portal - It took 10 minutes to load to fly point,, I take it that was his No point , USB-2 reads tooo slow , But hay after load into Ram , guess what , No loss in FPS , turned out ,as compared to hard drive install , His Yes point I guess , So the moral of the story is use
the USB--III port on your new computor , and happy flying from a stick
