Easy Way to Adjust LargeSystemCache
Easy Way to Adjust LargeSystemCache
Normally, the tweak I've seen asks you to go into
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and change thevalue to either O or 1 to the adjustment the LargeSystemCache.
However, in Windows XP, all you have to do is:
· Right-click My Computer.
· Select Properties.
· Click Advanced.
· Choose Performance.
· Click Advanced again.
· Select either Programs or System Cache under Memory Usage.
Programs = 0 for the registry tweak equivalent
System Cache = 1 for the registry tweak equivalent
· On NT Server (in this case XP), the Large System Cache option is enabled, but
disabled on Workstation. The two different settings effect how the cache manager
allocates free memory. If the Large Cache option is on, the manager marks all the free
memory, which isn't being used by the system and/or applications, as freely available for
disk caching.
· On the flip-side (with a small cache), the manager instead only sets aside 4MB of
memory for disk caching in an attempt to accelerate the launch of applications. Or in a
more technical approach, if enabled the system will favor system-cache working sets over
process working sets (with a working set basically being the memory used by components of
a process).
Slow Start-up When Using Norton Internet Security 2002
If you are using Norton Internet Security 2002, and are experiencing slow start-up of
XP, (i.e. you can see the desktop with icons etc. but it takes 30-60sec before you can
start using the computer), this fix might help:
· Click on Start button.
· Select Control Panel.
· Open "Network Connections".
· Under "LAN and High-Speed Internet", right-click on your "Local Area Connection" and
select "Properties".
· Under "General" tab, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and select "Properties".
· Select "Use the following IP address:".
· Under "IP address" enter following : 192.168.0.1
· Under "Subnet Mask:" enter following : 255.255.255.0
· Click "Ok".
