The good old days.

At one time I would try anything just to see if it would screw me up or not. I don't have the drive for that sort of thing anymore, nor the time. I "might" get back into it eventually. I don't know whether I have learned my lesson or not.

I tweak the visuals, and tweak the TCPIP for my DSL and that is about it.

Things to consider before you enable System cache mode

DisablePagingExecutive
The tweak "user-mode and kernel-mode drivers and kernel-mode system code can be paged to disk when not in use"

But, with lots of free ram, windows is unlikely to be paging anything out to begin with. Thus, the tweak should have nominal affect.
Also, note it is really intended to be used on a Server where it is paramount that responsiveness be maintained.
On a workstation, that new extra nanoseconds (if needed), won't even be noticed.

O.K. guys,

To be fair it's obvious you guys know a lot more about this tweak than I do, but I do have to say I didn't recommend the tweak because the effect was minor. When I tried it on my home PC which has a 3.2 Pentium Prescott processor and 2 gb of RAM it made a big difference

Just my 2c.

Fizban, I hope you don't think I was knocking you or the tweak. I wasn't at all. I am just very careful with what I tweak anymore. My joking around with Stoner is because well, he has seen me have to do a reinstall due to "tweaking".

I meant no disrespect and I can not comment on anything I have not tried.

Hey Skivvywaver it's no problem,
This site is all about discussion and I'm cool with that, thats why I come here. The reason I posted is because my tip seems to have attracted negative comments, but it worked for me and I was just sharing my experience with others.
I don't wish to fall out with anyone

BTW how's your back? I hope your not in too much pain.

I am getting much better. I am still uncomfortable but less and less each day.
