Disk Cache and Swap File Size

[Chuck]

I've read some suggestions that the min/max disk cache size should be set at 4096/32768 and the swap size should be 128 (min and max).

My o/s is Win98 and I have 128 mb of ram.

Are these settings appropriate for me, are there better settings or should I just reset the defaults and let Win manage the ram?

In it you'll find tweaking advice for disk cache, file size, cdrom, harddrives, ....

You'll get lots of opinions on this subject!

Personally, I prefer to fix my swap - there's seems to be less fragmentation and disk thrashing. I have 256mgs, so my values would be meaningless to you.

If you haven't seen it yet, look at the Speed Demonz Page here http://epsilon.silicon.net.my/adrian/

It really comes down to experimenting and seeing what values work best for your system,
IMO.
