OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - increasing sim speed question...please answer if you can help

First, please bare with me for I'm not exactly a computer expert.

Here's the deal:

I'm running OOTP 9 on a 2003 model Gateway with 2.23 GB of RAM, 149 GB of hard drive space with currently 131 GB's of free space and using a dual core Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40 GHz processors.

From what I understand I am meeting the computing requirements but yet sim speed seems to be very slow.

I'm trying to run a full league of organized MLB baseball complete with all the real minor leagues from the two AAA's on down to the short season rookie leagues. I am also trying to save box scores from the major only.

What do I need to do in order to speed up the sim process aside from deleting leagues and not saving box scores? Do I need to add more memory? Do I need a better processor? Or if I purchased another hard drive solely for use with OOTP 9 would that do the trick?

Thanks and much appreciation for any answers I get guys!!!!
