How to increase the File System Caching Memory?
I have 6GB of ram, and Vista hardly utilize most of it. So I would like to increase the file system cache to delay consecutive disk writes to extend hdd life. From the software "Vista Manager", I see the option to set the exact size for file system cache. As this software seems very buggy, so I'm would like to do that manually. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: fileSysCache.png | |Download: http://www.vistax64.com/attachment.p...achmentid=8741 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- totalz

This is the only method I'm aware of: at an admin command prompt enter: fsutil behavior set memoryusage 2 Oh, already knew this one, and it is only for NTFSMemUsage. I want one for the whole file system. I did run across this other registry setting. On my XP machine with only 1 GB ram it didn't help but on my Vista machine with 2 GB it seemed to keep the Minimum Benchmark in HDTune from dropping down to single digits as it usually does. So you can try it out. 'How to increase the cache' (http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-578-...your-hard-disk) -- MilesAhead "How come we don't know the I.Q. of the guy who invented the test?"
