- That's really a matter of opinion, don't you think?
-
- In any case, I'm most pleased with PC-Cache from Central Point's PC-Tools here.
- I'm using version 6.0, while 7.01 is the latest, but it's impressive. It can use
- extended, expanded and conventional memory, and if I ever use the machine
- without the cache, it's remarkably slower on disk access.
-
- On the other hand, it's commercial, while there's good shareware packages like
- HyperDisk around. I believe HyperDisk has hotkeys to turn off the cache, turn
- off delayed writes etc. Not sure though.
