I’m currently using CD space and it does the job well once you’ve loaded all the SW. It appears to be affecting my system though. For short (<10 hour) operating periods, it is okay but anything beyond that and it can take up to a minute to do any kind of interactive action (mouse click, enter, etc.). I've looked at some of the new CD server technology but is very expensive since you have to buy the actual server to get the SW. Is there any kind of an easier option to have my kids games run from the hard drive vs. the CD so they don't have to keep switching them in and out? I would imagine that this is the option set by the developer but would also image that there is a way to tweak those defaults. And, to anyone who would use this todistribute illegal SW - no this is not the reason why I am asking. For anyone with young children, you can understand why you don't want them flipping CDs in and out of your system.
