MinFileCache and MaxFileCache

[Biggy]

i have in my vcache MinFileCache=32768 and MaxFileCache=32768 is this right? I have 128 RAM or should the MinFileCache be set to 0 , while keeping the max the same. any suggestions.

here try this before you try that
at the run command type "mem"
take note of the memory usage
next at the run command type
"sysedit"
click on the config.sys file and if theres nothing at all in it add this to it

device=c:\windows\himem.sys
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems
dos=high,umb
files=128
devicehigh=c:\windows\setver.exe
devicehigh=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys

Save and restart your machine then repete the "mem" command you should see a noticable diff in memory usage then go play with these other settings. While most of the commands work primarly for Dos there are still some programs that have handles that go that way

If your not sure about these you can get more info on these at http://search.support.microsoft.com/
Another good place for info

Biggy, tweak3d.net recommeneds 8192 for min and max, seems to work good for me to..

Danjr. What if there is stuff that I need in my config.sys? Can I still use the tweak you suggested?

Yes just make sure that Himem.sys is first in the order of things or put all of that before your original info

i have used it and it works well.
