Microsoft did not provide a GUI front-end for the configuration of the vcache's chunksize so we'll have to go manual on this.

First of all, you'll need to use a text editor like Notepad to open up the System.ini file. This is usually located in your Win95/98 directory.

You should see the following screen :-

Scroll down until you see the line [vcache]. Usually, there will be nothing under this line. To adjust the vcache settings, you can add the following lines below the [vcache] line :-

    MinFileCache=xxxx
    MaxFileCache=yyyy
    ChunkSize=zzzz

where xxxx is the minimum size of the vcache in kilobytes (KB)
         yyyy is the maximum size of the vcache in kilobytes (KB)
         zzzz is the chunksize of the vcache in bytes

Save any changes that you've made to the system.ini file, close Notepad and reboot the system. The changes will only take effect after you reboot the system.

Naturally, we will only touch on chunksize settings. Details on the other settings can be found in the Disk Cache Optimization article.
