Possible solution:

The issue is that even with a lot of memory and graphics and processing power, EQ still wants to utilize local files. My gaming system is a core i7 with 18gb of memory and a 1060 Nvidia OC video card with Logitech gaming KnM. Playing a bard even after all the tweaking it would still access the hard disk at the worst possible times.

I do not run SSDs (dont laugh) and knowing it was accessing the disk i installed a freeware ramdisk made or at least advertised by AMD. RadeonRamDisk. It is limited to 4gb for the free version but a full install of EQ is under that with HQ textures. Simple to use and thus far graphics are smooth as ever and actually better as expected. Apparently it was still access the disk almost endlessly.

So far, no 180 noscope deaths ... er no 180 degree spins since.

As a side note you really need like 8gb or more to do this but it can be handy. They have a tutorial on their site for setup and they are well made.
