As for conflicts, the 2k2 cache and vcache have nothing to do with each other.as said earlier, the 2k2 is a HD cache, and the vcache is a RAM cache.

Beyond 32 megs of vcache, I've noticed very little improvement in system and 2k2 performance. Thanks for contributing an answer to Code Review Stack Exchange Please be sure to answer the question. Dynamic priority is already pre-configured and works from the start Cacheman is clearly ideal for the power-user, but the developers haven't forgotten about those of us who aren't quite as technically-inclined. cacheman which just puts a GUI on what is essentially a system.ini setting). will also ensure that applications leaking computer memory will not take away resources from the front-running application. I do set the ConservativeSwapfileUsage flag, and I do fix my vcache settings (manually, vs. Even with only 256megs of RAM, mine has never grown beyond 0 megs, even with System Monitor on for one 18 hour stretch while I was recording some stats for this very forum.As for your vcache settings, they are on par with mine. Why let Windows manage it? Because you are blessed with 512megs of RAM, and having limited your vcache, you should not see any swap file usage-ever. My "crowd" theory regarding the FS2002 cache applies to the fixed swap file as well-although it was good in the day of sub 128 meg systems. To a lesser degree, badly fragmented drives might see an improvement if scenery is loaded to an unfragmented cache, but I suspect this is rare-and defragmenting would solve that issue anyway.With 512Megs of RAM, let Windows manage your swap file! But I must warn you-I've been a LAN/WAN admin since the pre-NT days of Unix and Novell, and someone else with exactly the same level of experience will come in here and tell you to fix your swap file, citing all sorts of anecdotal reports. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. The most used version is 7.70, with over 98 of all installations currently using this version.
Cacheman Classic This Cacheman edition is outdated and has been designed for Windows 95, 98 and ME. Having said this, why do some people report "improvements" by enabling and increasing FS2002's cache? IMHO, some of it is what I call the "mass influence" syndrome, where someone reported such an improvement, and others chimed in moved by the "crowd". Cacheman is a program developed by Outertech. Cacheman is able to prevent frequent paging to the hard disk, resulting in improved performance, system reaction time, and stability.

On full installations, all you're telling FS2002 to do is to take scenery from one place on the HD, and move it to another-an extra step which saps performance in 2k2. Probably one of the most misunderstood features of 2k2, its purpose is for partial installations, where scenery is pulled off of the CD to be stored on the faster HD.
