lol, all this time and I never noticed that link up at the top of the EULA.
I still have an issue of it throwing its cache files and so forth in the \documents and settings folder on the system partition...but, I guess this is a step up from having to download every single game for every MGS casino you play at.
This does at least follow Windows protocol, and is a great leap forward from having 2Gig for EACH CASINO!
Me too. I don't have the gigabytes of extra space on my C: MG expects. I have space elsewhere, and it would be nice to be able to put the cache in a different location. MG once managed to fill up my C: drive completely, as a result of which I was not able to boot my computer into Windows. That was a fun thing to sort out.
THis may be possible, I remember that in Windows 98 these "special" folders were linked to pointers in the registry, and software interrogates the registry to locate these "special" folders, rather than assuming where they should go.
Although the registry structure has changed somewhat in XP, this tweak may still be possible, and could allow the cache to be placed elsewhere.
Windows, however, was designed to sit on the C: drive, and such tweaks can sometimes have peculiar effects, as there may be other things that need to be tweaked.
Some users like to install a small, but fast, hard drive for frequently accessed applications, and if you have done this such that Windows sits on a small, but fast, C: drive, I can see why the defaults of such softwares can be annoying.
I have C: and D: drives, both around 300Gig, so this has not become a problem.
It is now possible to get even bigger hard drives, as well as even faster and smaller ones to speed some things up.
I have not seen a great benefit to having the dual core processor under XP, although I have read that VISTA handles these better, but is in itself such a resource hog that it might not be worth the bother.
