Optimize Windows memory usage for faster memory management
Optimize your computer's memory usage to increase Windows XP ram performance and set how Windows uses system RAM. If you use your computer primarily as a desktop system, rather than as a server, you can have more Windows memory devoted to your programs which allocates more RAM to running applications. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will be the default size that came with Windows XP.
You may prefer system cache option, if your computer has a less RAM or it is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache. If you have a lot of RAM you may prefer System cache option which boost your system overall performance. To Change the Performance of Windows memory usage:
· Click Start, click Control Panel, click System.
