Max performace settings (swap/cache) with 256/512 mb ram?
 

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?

Correction: 256 or 512 mb ram.

You do not need to adjust any settings with that configuration. For the swap
file, it is always best to let Windows manage it. You might move it to
another disk, but there is no need to set a maximum or minimum. The cache
setting only applies above 512Mb RAM. The other settings are not required
for Windows, but some DOS programs might require a custom DOS environment
that includes them.

The default Windows settings, unless you experience problems.
