- Wouldn't putting Windows on a stacker drive speed up performance?
-
- What is wrong with HIMEM.SYS?
-
- TO increase my performance, I disabled the RAMDISK and gave the memory
- to SMARTDRV. I installed Stacker to increase (double) the size of
- SMARTDRV's cache and decrease the size of files on the disk. But,
- adding an ATI Ultra also made a gain in speed. Not as much as I
- expected, however.
