To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.
This tip is only
recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.
Follow these
steps:
1.
Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the
Run command.
2.
Expand the system.ini
file window.
3.
Scroll down almost to
the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
4.
Press Enter to make one
blank line, and in that line type
Irq14=4096
Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!
5.
Click on the File menu,
then choose Save.
6.
Close SYSEDIT and reboot
your computer.
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.
