Big frame rates for FSX on it's own hard drive

Here's how I dealt with slow frame rates on FSX. I added another internal hard drive, in this case a WD 300 gig 10k rpm velociraptor, & put nothing but FSX and some FSX add-ons on it, doing a FRESH INSTALL of these. You MUST do a fresh install, not a copy-over for this to work well. This gets FSX in it's own place away from all the Windows system mud that remains on the other HD. When I fired it up I had a hard time believing the increase in performance. I'm seeing double, triple, sometimes even quadruple the frame rates depending on factors. In this video the graphic settings are at default with some things increased. Anisotropic filtering with antialiasing, aircraft global settings at ultra high, all shadows, scenery complexity at extremely dense, autogen at zero as I usually run it, because I don't like autogen. I took this method to Delta Virtual Airlines, and asked pilots to try it. Some who did had success with it, and it looked like the faster the hard drive... the more success they had. My system is custom built & over a year old: Asus P5N32 SLI SE Deluxe Mobo, Intel core 2 duo E6600 2.4 ghz cpu running at 2.4 ghz, 650 W. pwr. supply, single ATI Radeon X1900XT 512 Mb video card, Creative XB-XFI sound card, and the two WD hard drives, both 10k rpm.
