Is this true? Sort of. The two highest levels, as far as I know, only differ in "Crazy" having the movies installed to the hard disk as well. That is, the level below "Crazy" probably won't make much of a difference. The lower levels leave more data on the CD, which will consequently have to be loaded off the CD at the start of the level. In short, play itself won't change much, but the loading times will. Even then though, with nowadays' CD drives, that won't make much of a difference. The main advantage of the "Crazy" install is that you can use a no-CD crack or D2x and play without the CD. :) Bye, Florian -- Florian "The Outrider" Piesche outrider@mag-murphy.net - http://www.mag-murphy.net "Ein Würfelbecher für Shadowrun hat in etwa die Größe eines handelsüb- lichen Flugfrachtcontainers. ;)"
