Disk Cache

Disk Cache is part of RAM that is used to store the most recently accessed data. Windows use the disk cache to store library (.dll or .ocx) and important system files to provide fast access for aplications and Windows services.

• Minimum disk cache specifies the minimum size of RAM that can be used for disk cache. You can set the minimum cache size with any value between 0 to 1/8 of total RAM installed in your computer.
  
  
• Maximum disk cache specifies the maximum size of RAM that can be used for disk cache. You can set the maximum cache size with any value between the minimum cache size value to 1/4 of total RAM installed in your computer.
  
  
• Windows divides disk cache into several sections, called a chunk. The size of each Chunk is specified by the Chunk size parameter. Larger chunk size value will help you to get better performance on multimedia applications.
