Optimum Performance, Modern hardware?

[Knuckle]

Everquest is a pretty dated game, I'd like to share my specs on my current rig to see if there is any tips folks have to get blazing fast load times on zoning, as that's really the only limitation the game presents to a modern machine.

1.) Haswell 4770k CPU (any settings I should disable that could impact everquest with modern intel software in the bios?)
2.) Gigabyte windforce GTX 770 4GB Ram (anything custom I should adjust on the gpu?)
3.) Samsung SSD EVO 840 500GB(I have my EQ Folder as such : C:/Program Files(x86)/Sony/Everquest
I've turned on all the high performance SSD settings that I'm aware of.


I know there is Hyperthreading and Intel speedstep that could perhaps negatively impact the game, so I was curious if anyone had done any testing and found an optimal way for the game to run and load fast with modern hardware.
