Default V-Cache settings

Get rid of all three of those settings. You're pretty much killing vcache
for no gain in performance.

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned my current VCache settings:
MinFileCache=4096
MaxFileCache=20480
chunksize=512

In my opinion, you should not make any changes to VCache settings unless

you
have more then 512MB of memory in your computer system.

What would you suggest I have as Min & Max settings for V-Cache?

I have PII350MZ with 64MB ram.


Thanks,
Dan

To expand slightly on Richard's reply, remove all those settings by deleting those
three lines from the system.ini file, but leave the [vcache] section heading there
for future use.

BTW, Win98 does not even look at a ChunkSize setting there, so it is useless in
*any* case.

So, how does one allow more than 512 mb of RAM in Win 98SE?
P5 2.6 MHz

In the [vcache] section of the system.ini file add the following line:
MaxFileCache=512000

Good luck
