What are the optimal swap and cache settings given a pc with either 256 or 215 mb ram with a Celeron 2.6 Ghz CPU? What about other stuff like himem.sys, emm386 (and it's various settings), smartdrv, buffers=, files=, etc?

Hard drive larger then 120GB question by USR
Hello: I know that there is a limitation in Win98SE with regard to hard drive size greater then 120GB. My question is, if I put a 320GB hard drive in an SE box but only create a partition of 120GB or less, will I still run into problems? TIA

CD-R erratically detected by J. P. Gilliver (John)
On an elderly PC I help a friend with, where he's copying a lot of his old LPs to CD, we use burn4free (though I think the problem is not with burn4free itself). More often than not, when hitting the "burn" button, it says "please insert a disc" - even if there's one in. When, by fiddling,...
