I'm sorry, but this is wrong. On non-SSD drives, when a new character zones into your zones, EQ reads from the disk and creates a microstutter.

You can get a brand new WD 7200rpm drive, install EQ on it and still get the issue. I know because I've installed EQ on three separate (new) hard drives, all non-SSD.

RAMDisk is the key if upgrading to an SSD isn't an option. Following the "EQ Lite" guide to reduce the installation size by several gigs (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7186) will help tons for those with only 4gb RAM.
Stop trying to justify your SSD purchase.

By this logic my game should be "microstuttering" constantly while im in KC or EC or any other popular zone. Which is definitely not happening.
