Lewis Allard, from Colorado Springs, is a 25-year old programmer for a major defense contractor. While at his job he gets programming performance boosts from PerfectDisk, I'm writing today about the performance improvements his systems get while playing video games. Lewis plays a wide variety of games, with World of Warcraft probably being his favorite.
WoW is big -- it takes up 15GB for the game and another 1.5GB for patches, which Lewis keeps on hand in case he needs to reinstall and repatch. As he says, "even by today's standards, it is a HUGE game." Another of Lewis' favorites, Fallout 3, takes up another 6GB. Lewis originally purchased PerfectDisk to increase his framerate in WoW's most populous areas, such as major cities and player versus player battlegrounds. Not only did PerfectDisk help improve his game's frames per second (FPS), it also improved the time it takes to load World of Warcraft (and other games). Lewis points out that "obviously some factors of loading into the game are out of control of the computer due to the games online connectivity, but the overall time was significantly lower than previous logins without PerfectDisk. 
When Lewis moved to the Windows 7 Beta, he knew he would need the same firepower he had previously to keep on top of his games. He found that "on Windows 7, logged into WoW sitting in Dalaran (the game's most populous city), I could get roughly 20-45 FPS, depending on the time of day. Those aren't bad frames on a game that runs 11 million-plus people worldwide, but I felt I could do better with PerfectDisk." Sure enough, he got to 35-50 FPS in the same situations.
Just ask Lewis...if you're going to take on the world, you better have the best tools.

With most players on the World of Warcraft servers on the weekends, there are different kind of players playing on the weekend than Monday through Friday. Most casual players are the ones on during the weekends. These players are often not as serious about the gold-making process that you are. They are unaware of the pricing and economic schemes going on, and will add a superficial or unrepresentative spin to the Market during short spans. With this in mind, the buyer spike during the weekends floods the economy with cheap goods and cheap money. With Dugi's Ultimiate WoW Guide you'll gain a major advantage over other players in the game, check it out now!

They are unaware of the pricing and economic schemes going on, and will add a superficial or unrepresentative spin to the Market during short spans. They spend money as they make it, and, without gearing up or necessarily using Auction Houses, they will inject the market with products or money at any given time. With their high level chars they are unlimited buyers of everything that’s purple, Bind on Equip items, gems, and Enchanting materials. With this in mind, the buyer spike during the weekends floods the economy with cheap goods and cheap money.

The game disc only takes a few minutes but the add-on patches can take forever, the game is huge. ILast time I downloaded it I set it up and went to bed. One of the patches was 6 gigs, it took forever.

Yes it takes huge memory right...but since we love the game we allow that to eat up our space...I think the developers should do something about it.

Where do you get this PerfectDisk? I 'm also interested to have one. It's not that my PC is giving up on me while it runs WoW, I just think that PerfectDisk can improve my PC's performance.
