The default Windows settings, unless you experience problems.


I find it hard to believe that the default settings are the most
efficient when you have 256 or 512 mb ram.

I say this because when 98 came out, the typical pc had 16mb of ram
and 32 or 64 mb of ram was seen as the outer limits.

So my perception is that given 10 to 20 times the amount of ram, there
must be optimizations that can be made over the default settings.


Here are some very informative and useful links:
These are from a post by Jim Eschelman:

" I have a series of optimization articles that
might be a good start. May I recommend these?
