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? |

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. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "98 Guy" wrote in message ...

The default Windows settings, unless you experience problems.
