Go up one level in this thread
hi karens dad,
first of all i thought for a long time that my system was swapping files, and it
was not. my hard drive noise was occuring only in the end game. when your chess
engine starts reading the endgame (large) databases, you will hear the hard
drive, this is normal for large databases with windows 98. also i have monitored
my kns many times during this part of the game, very small decrease in kns on my
system. if you are still not satisfied, try setting the virtual memory, so that
the operating system cannot change this during your game.
this must be done in this order---first right click the my computer icon at your
desktop, left click properties, performance tab, virtual memory.
choose: "let me specify my own virtual memory settings". change this to: min 0
max 0. now you must reboot. now defrag. now reboot again. now go back and
change the virtual memory settings to min 100 and max 100. this must be done
in this order. reboot before your next game.
note: defrag will not access this memory unless settings are at 0.
this is for windows 98 only.
let me know if this helps,
xracer
