Enable Large System Cache or no?

Thumbs up. Anything funky happens just turn it off :) Although it should give you a little bit a speed boost (depending on what you do)
 
DO NOT enable LargeSystemCache!

Especially if you have a ATI Video card.


Large System Cache allows system cache to use up to 80% of RAM under normal memory pressure. This is NOT the ideal way to handle RAM! It should be the opposite! Foreground applications should take memory priority over system cache.

You will only degrade performance and cause unnecessary paging with LargeSysCache enabled.


LargeSystemCache should ONLY be enabled if you machine is strictly a file server and nothing else. And even in those cases benefits of having a large system cache size are negligible.

He's right, i had trouble with this setting and games on my 9800. Worth a test though, if you're system gets flaky then set it back to default.

Odd. I have it on my Athlon and it really sped it up. I turned it on my Pentium 4 3.0 and it crashed windows. Both have ATI video cards, actually the same card at one point.
 
Guys, its just a setting its not going to kill a kitten , and it has been know to give speed increases depending on the apps you use. And you can easily turn if back off.

Has ATI addressed the delayed write failed error when using LSC? If they haven't, the kitten might as well be burning in hell because that shit will corrupt the main drive in seconds. I fixed it back in the day by disabling SMB whatever the fuck it was, but saw no difference with LSC so I just leave it off now.

Your cat may survive, but it's doubtful that the data on your hard disk will survive if you enable LSC with Cat drivers. Besides, the improvement is negligible.
