Default zone loading times

SHould i invest on a solid state drive to speed up EQ loading times?

Currently using an older pc(shuttle) to play p99 and its hard to upgrade the hardware on it.

atmo i have a sata drive connected to the sataI controller built into the mboard.

Ive noticed that sata 3 ssd are now going for £30 for a 64gb drive (m4 crucial)

I cant get better than 150mb/sec load speed on this pc, but that could be double what the mechanical hdd is achieving.

STill worth getting an ssd for eq? or would the dffernce be negligable?

further, Ive been told in past its bad idea to put windows pagefile on a secondary drive......eg main drive with os will be mechnical, adding ssd as seconday drive and using that to boost the system speed. Any ideas either way?

If you have two GBs of ram to spare you could run EQ from a ram drive (after using something like eqlite to reduce the size of it).
