System configuration commands such as this will be ignored. At the top of the file is the statement "; for 16-bit app support". This is not an idle statement.<BR/><BR/>Any perceived performance gain from this is strictly placebo, it cannot be real.<BR/><BR/>Larry Miller<BR/>Microsoft MCSA<BR/>CompTIA Network+, A+Larry Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996338535357299263.post-3219074062770253242007-10-30T11:45:00.000-08:002007-10-30T11:45:00.000-08:002007-10-30T11:45:00.000-08:00Hello SnakeFoot thanks for commenting.<BR/>* Yep! You will not be able to see any difference, if you have small amount of data stored on hard disk.<BR/>* This tweak can work on win 2000 and all the above windows platforms.<BR/>* About finding Irq [if not 14 by default] I will update that in the post.<BR/>* As far as I have understood, we have the possibility to configure a special buffer whose task is to optimize the memory to better handle the interrupts. This tweak would be definitely effective for those who have large amount of data stored on the disk.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment, really appreciated.Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04422815282193158904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996338535357299263.post-16727824107980735532007-10-29T09:30:00.000-08:002007-10-29T09:30:00.000-08:002007-10-29T09:30:00.000-08:00You are quite right that it won't do any harm, in fact I think it will not do anything at all.<BR/><BR/>Not sure what operating system this tweak is meant for, but since Windows 2000 the System.ini (And Win.ini) is a legacy file that are kept around for Win16 applications.<BR/><BR/>Also think that in the original form then one had to find the IRQ of the disk controller and use that instead of 14 (Default IRQ of the IDE ATA Primary Channel)<BR/><BR/>Interupt Request (IRQ) is a way for the hardware to signal the CPU of some event. The actual data is transfered using the system-bus, so allocating a buffer for IRQ doesn't make much sense.Snakefoothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10040069048908089365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996338535357299263.post-78710613626017830732007-10-03T09:14:00.000-08:002007-10-03T09:14:00.000-08:002007-10-03T09:14:00.000-08:00Thanks for the wonderful article.
