    System cache - all drives?


    I have 3 hard drives:

    - SSD drive for C:
    - Mechanical drives for E: & F:

    I have a system cache setup for the C: drive. Should you also have one set up for the E: & F: drives too?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    Do you mean Virtual memory?

    My suggestion:


    - TRIM
    Type this cmd
    fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

    It will give you one of two results, either a 0 or a 1. A zero indicates that TRIM is enabled correctly, a one means that it is not. If you have a TRIM-compatible SSD, but find that Windows 7 hasn't enabled the command, you can easily do so by running this command:

    fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0

    1)Move Virtual Memory to HDD
    Computer-Properties-Advanced system settings
    Performance settings - Advanced - Change
    - C: None
    - D: Custom sise: Max & Min = 16384- Set (make it 2x the memory size)

    2)Startup and Recovery
    Make diretory D:\System\Memory Dumps
    Make diretory D:\System\Memory Dumps\Mini
    Make diretory D:\System\Temp\user

    Computer-Properties-Advanced system settings
    Startup and Recovery settings

    Small memory dump
    Small Dump file: D:\System\Memory Dumps\Mini

    Kernel memory dump
    Dump file: D:\System\Memory Dumps

    OK (Ingnore alert)

    Environment Variables
    Up Window
    Temp - D:\System\Temp\user
    TMP - D:\System\Temp\user
    Down Window
    Temp - D:\System\Temp
    TMP - D:\System\Temp

    3)Reboot

    - Create D:\Program Files and install on it Antivirus, antimalware, antispyware and very large programs.

    Thank you for your detailed reply, although I am a bit unsure what the net effect of your suggestions are. What does your recommendations actually do?

    I added a cache to my other drives and the speed of my system crawled. It was shocking! So I changed it back again. And I and getting crashes again, with the following message:

    Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: chrome.exe (4404) consumed 710475776 bytes, chrome.exe (8120) consumed 498884608 bytes, and firefox.exe (8564) consumed 467574784 bytes.
