Is there really any point to it with a modern CF card and fast enough PIO mode? Iv run memtest on my DX4 rig and after stuffing SmartDRV and my other drivers into memory, it eats a whole 3 mbs out of my 16. Leaving me with only 13mbs free visible to programs. I can tell you right now that when i comment out SmartDRV from memmaker's optimizations, im only loosing maybe a meg if that for the rest of my drivers.
I see a lot of games mention needing 16mbs or else they create a swapfile. So did they just expect people by default to just not load smartDRV?
Would there be any performance difference on a SmartDRV, 13meg available system VS a SmartDRV-less full 16meg machine?
