Space is also important, not because its sitting on your hard drive, but the more stuff you got on there the more CPU it will take up. Stuff running, EVEN IN THE BACKGROUND, is bad. FOR THE BEST PROFORMANCE, END ALL PROGRAMS RUNNING UNDER APPLICATIONS, AND ALL INSTANCES UNDER PROCESSES NOT NEEDED (I did all that fancy stuff to make a huge point).
Even if you got tons of free space, just one app could be using so much of your CPU that you don't even know. Task manager is easy to find/use on purpose- it's your friend.
Hope this helps,

the space on the hard drive as long as it houses the game make no difference, potc online is based on the processor, video card and ram i know this because i've tested this in every way posible turning settings up and down and finally bought a new pc the ol 1.9 hp with a ati 9550 and 1gig of ram just couldn't run the game without constantly crashing. i now have a 3.4 hp with a nvidia 8500gt with 4gigs of ram game runs like water no lag no crashes, and as you can see the spec changes were only my processor, video card and ram..
