I hope your not being serious, dust is one of the best insulators going. to much dust and pc gets to hot from not enough vent and clean surfaces. that happens and cpu, ram, gpu the lot can run slower including hdds.

We are talking about hard drives, not your CPU/GPU/MEM. None of those play as important (or even any role in case of GPU) as the HDD in terms of loading screens.

Regular dusting is important, but it is not a key factor in load times.

not quite, if dust is to bad in a pc which 9/10 times also blocks vent slots then that can increase the delta inside the case which can effect the hd, or do you think heat doesnt effect hds. ram and cpu are also effected by heat which in turn effect loading times.

Stop trying to convince people that dust is affecting their load times, it's ridiculous.

lol, im not saying its effecting everyone but dont be dumb thinking that dust cannot be a factor, i wouldnt be shocked if peeps have had there pc under there desk for a year or 2 and never taken the side of it. Or are you one of those people who think pc shops sell compressed air in a tin because you think they think we dont have enough air in our rooms.


ow an for peeps thinking im joking about how dangerous dust is in a pc watch this, this also shows you how to clean it. http://youtu.be/8QZ8j46GB2w

Like i said, i agree, dust is bad, its just not the major issue where with load times is all. Thanks again for reminding everyone to dust there pcs, but im sorry its just not super relevant to swtor load times.

Actually, even that has bugs:

10 PRINT "You are in a room, would you like to go N, S, E or W"
20 INPUT A$
30 GOTO 10

There, now it's bug free.
