Is Win95 going to the disk too often--even if you *do* have a lot of physical RAM? If you have 16 megs of RAM or more, read on! Don't worry, it doesn't involve registry hacking (at least what I'm about to tell you to do doesn't). Edit your "SYSTEM.INI" file and go to the 'vcache' section. If you have nothing underneath it, that's fine--you can add what follows:

For 16 megs of RAM:

[vcache] MinFileCache=1024 MaxFileCache=1024

For 32 megs of RAM:

[vcache] MinFileCache=2048 MaxFileCache=2048

Now, you might want to play around with these numbers a bit, but for the most part, people with these amounts of physical RAM found these numbers to maximize efficiency. ;) At least this will steer you in the proper direction! Remember, I just present you information, I take no responsibility if anything you do messes up your machine! ;) Don't sweat it, this is a simple edit. =)
