Memory management
Memory management:
This one is from tipworld.com
To get better performance from a machine with 32
megs of memory or better, push the
Windows key + Pause Break key to call
up the System Properties box. Click the
Performance tab, then the File System button.
You'll see a Select Box under Settings labeled
'Typical role of this computer:'. Change that to 'Network server'.
This will manage your memory better and give you a small
performance boost. In Windows95b and up, you're all set
to go. In earlier releases of Windows, you'll have to do this:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FS Templates
Click on Server, and in the right-hand pane you'll see two
entries called NameCache and PathCache. Here are the
values that you need to enter/modify for each one of them:
1. For NameCache modify the numeric values to read:
a9 0a 00 00
2. For PathCache modify the numeric values to read:
40 00 00 00
These values are written to the wrong entries by default and you
have to manually fix them to get a boost in performance when
setting your machine to "Network Server". Because these
values are written in wrong many people see no difference in
performance when changing to "Network Server". But this Registry
hack fixes it, and when you're done making these changes, go
set your system to "Network Server" and see if you notice
any improvement (you'll need to restart Windows for the
changes to take effect).
