Battlefield 2 Patch

Battlefield 2 uses a typical approach to game patching by integrating the new patch data into the existing game data - as opposed to just dumping a patch file into the game installation directory. This usage model results in a lot of disk activity and generally long patch times. We applied the 500 MB BF2 patch 1.41 to our installation. (18.3 GB transferred, 77% write).

Windows Experience Index

Windows Vista and Windows 7 have added a Windows Experience Index rating to all systems which gives users a quick idea of the performance to expect and to identify possible weak points. We ran the disk portion of the test, which represents the "Primary Hard Disk" score listed. (2.27 GB transferred, 81% write).
