I duno why I keep bothering. I never see a difference between 300FPS vs 1000. I don't think anyone else really does either. When people know their server is doing 1000 fps, their mind is tricked into thinking it's running better, much like a sugar pill.
if loading is slow you may be missing the native disk controller module.
but yes, 1000fps is mostly a sugar pill in my opinion. surely some 1000fps whore will post a flame about this comment, but in the end, 99% of people don't notice and/or care. if you are part of the 1%, more power to you, but its not what the masses need or want.
bottom line -- is it better, probably to some tiny degree . . . is it necessary, no.
how would I check to see if I have the native disk controller, and if not, how would I get it?
