Thanks for rep!!

tz frantic, I think if one is running a 64 bit system with lots of RAM, like 16MG and more, and running CAD programs, enabling the system cache would be a good idea. For you and for me, leaving it disabled it the best choice.

Hello,
I found this 7Forums thread via Google. I would like to correct with info I found at Large Files are locking up Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit :

@Cypherdude

This is an extremely old Thread over a year. It would be best if you start a new one with this information and your questions. -WS

Disabled is the default option.

And btw, I've heard that the setting doesn't have any effect in Win 7, that it only was used in pre-vista 32-bits. And that the setting is left in registry just for compatibility reasons.

Anyhow, LargeSystemCache is meant for server use more, hence the name, then background processes gets a bigger attention from the CPU than running programs. LargeSystemCache is also helpful in a network where large over 1GB files are moved around every day basis.

Unless your running a file server which needs a large system cache - with the expense of front running brograms, leave the setting alone.
