K6-2 and K6-3 Upgrade Guide

Hard Drive Upgrade- Gaming Performance

Rather than break down each game in a separate section as we did before, we are going to lump all the graphs together and summarize the information at the end. Once you look at the graphs, you will see why.

As you can see, moving to the faster hard drive resulted in no performance increase in any gaming situation. This is because hard drive access during game-play is very minimal. After a scene is loaded in memory, very little data needs to be received or sent to the hard drive. Since the benchmarks measure in-game performance, any increase in speed during the loading process would not be noted. It is most likely that a speed improvement, if any, would occurring during this stage of game-play.
