序言:

電腦的操作系統使用記憶體往往就好像洪水猛獸般,很多便用光了.針對這個問題,有很多程式便藉修改登錄檔來改變系統設定值,從而更有效的發揮系統效能.其中,Cacheman 針對快取記憶體的運用來增加系統可用記憶體.如果你的Computer只有16 or 32 MB RAM,你可選擇low memory system 選項,這會盡量減少快取記憶體,已增加可用記憶體.如果你有64或更多的RAM,你則可選擇Power User or MultiMedia system or Unreal & Quake2選項,這樣便會增加快取記憶體,使運作速度提升.

新版本的cacheman 3.80 更有Automatic for beginners功能自動為用家提供最佳化的選擇.

此軟體乃屬於免費軟體(giftware),但如覺得好用,則需寫post card加以鼓勵.

根據Cacheman的測試報告,在一部Celeron 450A,Win 98,128MB RAM的電腦上,原來是只有2568KB Free physical memory,97688KB Used virtual memory. 使用了之後便有30812KB Free physical memory & 96780 KB Used virtual memory.最妙的是不像其他的程式只是將程式資料或DLL files由搬到Virtual Memory,而是透過減少不必要的快取記憶體來增加可用記憶體.這能減少硬碟的使用比率.並同時加快電腦的運作效能.

以下是Cacheman程式幫助檔案中有關如何增進效能及程式用處的介紹:

Cacheman is a utility which tweaks the disk cache settings and prevents frequent swapping of the data to disk resulting in an improved performance and stability.

What's the problem with the Windows Disk Cache ?

VCACHE is drive cache Windows allocates that can often gobble up 25-40% of your installed memory. By default Windows places NO LIMIT on how large it can be. Wonderful....

After accessing large files, like video clips, VCACHE expands to an often huge size and then is very stingy about giving that memory back to the system.This is NOT the Windows swapfile and is NOT controllable from System/Performance/Filesystem/Troubleshooting.

On machines with <128 megs VCACHE can (and often does) cause low memory crashes when using memory intensive software like Photoshop, Media Studio Pro, Premiere etc. etc. This is especially the case when you've been accessing large files or previewing your project.

On machines with <64 megs it can make life intolerable.It can also cause playback problems in low memory situations.
