Gambler FEX online 0 Posted June 21, 2002 It seems XPs HD cache is set too high, so whenever I move big files or scans the HDs for virus, the system loses a lot of performance. It pages all the background programs and uses the memory for file cache? For instance while norton antivirus scans my drive, every time a maximize a program back up again it's very sloooow and the HD is very busy. Is there a way to change the file access cache? To make it smaller? I remembered I could make it so win2k acted like this, i.e increase some sort of file cache but I turned it down again because the system "slowed down" just like it does now.
