do you use cacheman

[Taylorm]

Cacheman - the disk cache management tool.
Cacheman is a utility which tweaks the disk cache settings and prevents frequent swapping of the data to disk resulting in an improved performance and stability



anyone who uses it wanna share what they think about it?

I used to use it in 98.... didnt notice a huge difference because its actually not the best optimization.... you can do a reg edit and get better results but I forgot where I read it. Now I use Win2K so dont need it.

Yes, and it helped when I first started using it...
Not sure it still have value now that things have gotten so much faster
and HDD have much larger cache of their own...
but I still have it installed...

And as far as CacheMan being less effective, I don't understand that comment because all
cacheman does is manipulate the Very same Reg. and ini values as if you were to do it
manually... Cacheman just has a easy to use GUI

I actually noticed that using Cacheman vs. the regular Win98 cache presets (Network Server) resulted in a decrease of 3DMark2000 results. Because of that, I stopped using it. Of course now I don't even like 3DMark but that doesn't mean I'm going to install it - it doesn't help when you have 256mb RAM.
