 Mon Aug 14, 2006 5:07 pm Subject : Increase Hard Disk Speed |

Do you know ? You can speed up your hard disk speed.
To speed up your hard disk speed you need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory. To enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.

Follow these steps:
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the RUN Command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
Irq14=4096

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
It's all done.
Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
Update: The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives, however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks. In any case, it won't harm your system, so why not try it yourself and let me know what you find. |
