If you're arguing that a computer can't be optimized for all those tasks, then I'll agree with that.  But no one is talking about that.


Wrong! I am talking about that. I believe it is a progressive problem in that the more you add the larger the problem becomes. Considering that the largest problem is the first argument I made concerning Libraries folders and that everyone for the most part engages in photo storage music libraries and now video making (youtube) and the problem gets out of hand very quickly.

CAD programs load license processes. Adobe products do the same thing as does Corel and so on. Its not just bits on the HD once you start adding additional functionality to your system.

Krusty you are at least aware of some of the things that must be done in preparation for playing AH. The point of my post was to help people that do not have that insight realize that it can get out of hand quickly. Like I said you can argue (and continue to do so) to the contrary but it is a fact.

My biggest question is what does this mean for all those little USB flash drives? I find myself using those more and more instead of CD/DVD for transfer of video and work files.

When you deem it time to defrag your system Windows will decide where things are moved to in order to speed things up to optimum. By default Windows will move the system files - everything installed to Program Files - all you Libraries (My Documents) to the fastest area of the disk. Even the best defrag program does this even though it allows you to reassign priorities to different folders. If your HD is more than 50% full and you have it choked with images videos and podcasts (very wasteful for space) then you will move all this junk into the fastest areas of your hard drive. Now... note that I did not mention Aces High. Aces High is now installed outside of all these areas and defrag will ignore its position because it does not have a high priority.

Guys, check this out:  Ultimate Defrag at http://www.disktrix.com/  It's a very nice defrag tool with a lot of options to optimize file placement.

Looking at the link now. :)  I'm not partial to any of them except the one which works.
