Title: System.ini Tweaks
Post by: jihad on July 23, 2001, 10:56:00 PM

Here's some of the entrys I said I would post for a few guys.

[386Enh]
PagingDrive=D:
MinPagingFileSize=98304
MaxPagingFileSize=98304
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
32BitDiskAccess=on
DMABufferSize=64
PageBuffers=32


[vcache]
MinFileCache=2048
MaxFileCache=5120
ChunkSize=1024

I'm getting 133 mb per second cached reads and 101 mb per second cached writes with these settings and never hit the swap file.  :cool:

[vcache]
MinFileCache=2048
MaxFileCache=5120
ChunkSize=1024

Try setting the MaxFileCache= to 25% of your system ram.

Example:
256-75%
=64
x1024
=65536

MaxFileCache=65536
