Seems to me that you must put on your reseme, when applying for a job at
ORIGIN, yes I have gone to the school of endless hard drive access so you
can be assured of more endless hard drive access in ORIGIN games if you
hire me. There simply must be a school of this sort out there somewhere
because all of the ORIGIN programers have obviously been to it and passed
the course. IE WC3 with it's long mission load times, although I did like the
game. If you want to shorten mission load times somewhat add this 
line to your CONFIG.SYS.  BUFFERS=64  this will setup a small disk
cash and decrease mission load times by about half. Before I go out 
and purchase WC4 this christmas I think I'll go and upgrade to a 
pentium with lots of ram and a fast SCSI 2 hard drive. Anyone think
ORIGIN gets kick backs from INTEL?
