lets go to speed up Windows 95/98 directly.
Open the Control Panel and double click SYSTEM and click in the
DEVICE MANAGER tab, find the line that says DISK DRIVES and click
in the + sign beside it, in there you will see you current Hard
Drives, double click the one that describes you Hard Drive model
or if no models are listed double click the one that says GENERIC
DISK DRIVE, go to SETTINGS tab and make sure the DMA option is enabled,
don't touch the other settings (this trick will only work on Hard
Drives that are larger than 1 Gigabyte), click OK and go to the
PERFORMANCE tab, click on VIRTUAL MEMORY and use this settingsNotice
that I used my second Hard Drive for the swap file location, by
making the Swap File run into another hard drive you will boost
the performance of your main boot drive, but if you only have one
Hard drive use the C drive anyway, the boost will not be as great
but will surely help a lot (after this change, if one of your programs
tells you that there is not enough memory to be able to run just
change this setting again by increasing the value, Ex. 192, 192
or 256, 256) Also notice that the minimum and maximum values are
the same, to work at the best possible performance they must be
the same values. Click OK and then click in FILE SYSTEM, there,
in TYPICAL ROLE OF THIS MACHINE use the value NETWORK SERVER and
the READ-AHEAD OPTIMIZATION value to FULL. Click in the CD-ROM tab
and make sure the SUPPLEMENTAL CACHE SIZE is set to LARGE and the
OPTIMIZE ACCESS PATTERN set to QUAD-SPEED OR HIGHER (it doesn't
matter if you CD-Rom is actually slower, this setting will bosst
your CD-Rom's performance), click OK;OK, the computer will ask you
if you want to reboot now, say YES.
