I'm considering going through Lost Odyssey, but only have a 20 GB hard drive. Do all four disks need to be installed prior to playing, or is it possible to only install 2 disks at a time?

This list is, i would say....99% right, give or take a few% simply because not all hardware is the same. As for Rock Band 2 (and most other games), the songs load much faster, especially when playing online.Two questions;
How reliable is this list? (In terms of if it preforms better)
And what benefits does Rock Band 2 get?

I'll increase the size but the Courier New font is there to keep it organized and cleanI'll be showing up here alot more now that I scored my $45 120 GB HD . Thank you Target clearance .
The only complaint I have is the hard to read font the list is in .
It could read more easily if it looked cleaner .

I had not looked at the list in a while so its nice to see that now we are tracking performance differences.
Few notes though..
I noticed weaker performance on MK vs DC when in VS Two player mode. After the match ends, the game would stick to a black screen for a while longer than usual. Definitely noticeable. Anyone experienced this?

Not to try and start something, but if you did it just for yourself why post it on the thread? Why not keep a local copy on your pc? Either way you will have to update the values yourself and the local pc copy makes it easier to format and doesn't require the internet.

I just want to note that I have Tiger 09, and load times are noticably faster than CD.
Especially if you're retrying an event.
Of coruse though, I don't have the stats to back it up because I'm lazy....

Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3 - Green. Load times in between songs seem 5-7 seconds shorter than disc loading.
Top Spin 3 - Green. The benefit is only about 1-2 seconds shorter that disc loading. However, the stuttering during the initial court fly-bys is lessened and it seems a if loading pieces for character creation is a tad faster.
Golden Axe: Beast Rider - Green. About a 4-6 second drop in loading times between levels.
TNA iMPACT! - Green. 3-5 seconds faster than disc loading between matches.

Big thanks. I almost left Top Spin 3 white but a slight load time improvement + less stuttering + faster loading during character creation leads to an overall improved performance/experience.Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3 - Green. Load times in between songs seem 5-7 seconds shorter than disc loading.

This whole... installing of the Oblivion GOTY second disk on the hd... and using the original (standard version) oblivion to play the expansion is rich. I wonder if this is possible for all games that released an "expansion." (CoD4 in particular)

Fight Night Round 3 - Green. A good 5 seconds less when loading matches.
It might be too late to ask and, if so, I apologize. Is it possible to use another color aside from white to indicate that there is no change between running from disc and HDD install? It could prove beneficial for those that might want to figure out what games haven't been tested for HDD performance yet.

I've been meaning to fix that (colors wise). Finally took the time to do so and it looks better, IMO.Fight Night Round 3 - Green. A good 5 seconds less when loading matches.

Guitar Hero 3 - Green. It started out bad with an initial load that seemed longer on HDD than on disc. However, the loading from menu to song was about 3-4 seconds faster from HDD so Green it is.
The Club - Green. Load times from the menu to a level are almost cut in half.
I second the color change. It looks super sweet this way.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Green. I didn't notice the 2-Player vs. black screen as reported earlier but I did notice that load times between fights were shortened by about 3-5 seconds.
Crash: Mind Over Mutant - 6.0GB - White. Aside from a quiet disc drive, load times are exactly the same.
BTW, SynGamer, I know I asked you about this before but I found the complete list of games on WikiPedia. I copied it to my PC and am in the process of editing it so that the list they already have includes HDD install sizes and HDD performance results. If it's OK with you, once I finished what I got, may I post the info you already gathered on WikiPedia? I'd still love the master list to be located here on CAG forums but having a WikiPedia entry is also nice.

Thanks. If you could, try to leave a reference/source link to my first post when you edit this on wikipedia. I don't care if you say it's being maintained by me (SynGamer) but a link would be nice.
Check out this article that compares many AAA games DVD versus HDD times for initial load time, and various in game load times, as well as a 20 gb vs 120 gb comparison. http://www.eurogamer...d=290745&page=1
Thanks, COD4 is now green. Mass Effect will remain white simply because the texture popin is still present and the load times are on average only 3 seconds better. Not really worth 6.8GB if you ask me (though i still have it installed :P).
