I was reading somewhere that I should change the maxfilecache and
minfilecache settings in my system.ini since I am using 2 gigs of RAM. Can
anyone tell me what the right settings are?
 
The issue with over 512M of ram is that with Win9x you have
to limit vcache, in system.ini, to no more that 512M.
Over in the M$ groups, the consensus
seems to be 70% of your available ram for less than 768M.
It's specified in kilobytes. NT based systems don't have the
problem. Put this in your system.ini -----

[vcache]
MaxFileCache=524000
 
actually, after I posted that, I found out that the problem didn't exist
with Win XP, which is what I am running. Thanks for your reply.
