Well, as far as I can see, everybody here is more or less shooting in the dark so I just set the value back to 00 00 00 FF as it was. Dunno what the connection is with the swap file, free space and all that, but I know 9x was supposed to work even with 50 MB free HDD space so now when I have over 1.5 GB and soon after it throws the "You have run out of space on drive C" message without me doing anything different than before, I know there's really something wrong.

Keep on digging, maybe you find out something. Good luck!

what would be the best caches settings for gaming

After benchmarking my drives with Norton apps, using all combination of numbers, smaller was better.

Highest reading was with -----

==================================================

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]

"ReadAheadThreshold"=hex:00,20,00,00

"PathCache"=hex:ff,00,00,00

"NameCache"=hex:00,ff,00,00

==================================================

ReadAheadThreshold ended up being really small ---- 8 KB

Pathcache and Namecache also affected speed of read/write to drive ---- set to max.

so will things like games will run better BUT

windows will boot slower and windows will be slower and things like firefox will be right???????
