Windows XP system cache
« on: May 09, 2008, 08:43:33 PM »
As you can see, I left it at programs, I haven't ever switched it to system cache, but for some reason windows is allocating over a GB of system cache.


I do run an Apache web server and a MailEnable email server on this computer, but I haven't changed any settings relating to system cache in order to make them run better.

Does anybody know why it's allocating so much system cache or how to stop it?
It makes programs fail to load or crash a lot, especially when the Available is less than the System Cache

To get a larger system cache

Start sysdm.cpl in the Open box, then Advanced tab, then Settings under Performance. Click the Advanced tab, and then use one of the following methods under Memory usage:

•   Click Programs if you use your computer primarily as a workstation instead of as a server. This option allocates more memory to your programs.

•   Click System cache if your computer is used primarily as a server or if you use programs that use a larger cache.
