    An SSD is the only solution? You think everyone playing this game runs it off an SSD? Well I assume most people don't. I certainly don't. I have 8GB of RAM, and I know that Windows will map files fetched off the disk by the game to RAM for quick retrieval later. The next time the games fetches them it just grabs them from the disk cache, rather than the HDD. This is highly effective on systems with enough RAM availible to support 2-3GB of files mapped off the drive. Which is why most people don't need an SSD.

    And this video of a 2010 MacBook Air running the game, using a far less powerful GPU than a 540M, shows that you can get the game running well enough to enjoy.
