Accelerate Your Windows(NT, 2OOO, XP) by Speeding Diskcach

Diskcache plays a very important role in Windows. However, the default I/O pagefile setting of is not optimized, which limits the performance. Some better values for different RAM are given below.

1. run "regedit";

2. goto

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementIoPageLockLimit];

3. modify the value in Hex depending on the size of your RAM:

RAM: modified value(Hex)

64M: 1000;

128M: 4000;

256M: 10000;

512M or more: 40000.

4. reboot.

Though some good tools (such as "Cacheman" can do this, it is an interesting experience for you to work it out by yourself and let your Windows fly.
