Disk Cache

[amerifax]

I haven't done this in quite awhile and can't seem to remember where the setting are. When you load a program and the memory gets low, it will use the cache on the hard drive. Where can I set this amount to specify how much of a cache is set?

I am using Windows XP Pro. While I am asking, I should also ask where I would do this in Windows 7 also.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you mean the pagefile aka virtual memory?

For Vista/7:

Yes. Also hiberfil.sys

hiberfil.sys is used to store your memory state when the system goes into hibernation mode. You would either enable or disable hibernation mode in the Control Panel - Power Options - Hibernate
