Re: will PS2 be "large address aware"


I wonder how large the PS2 install will be?

I've got 8GB of RAM, but only rarely use more than 4GB (and even then it's only because I'm being lazy and not closing programs). If PS2 is smaller than 4GB, I might try to figure out how to install it on a RAM drive. Maybe install it once in RAM, make a copy of the install folder on a SSD, and write a batch file that runs at startup to copy it back into RAM.

- Buy a SSD (64 or 128GB is plenty).
- Install Windows 7 64-bit on it, or image it over if it is smaller than the SSD.
- After Windows 7 is installed, go to Start -> [Username], right click on all options from Contacts to Searches and change the following:
  1. Right Click and click on Properties
  2. Go to the "Location" tab.
  3. Click Move and give each folder a location off the SSD.

This will keep the SSD from filling up and also boost your IOPS performance significantly, putting the operating system's IOPS onto a fast drive and keeping your games off the primary.

Install all programs OFF the SSD on the other drive and you will have a very happy, very fast computer.

Good advice.
