Keywords: kdkdkd Message-ID: <1991Apr14.091218.27869@milton.u.washington.edu> Date: 14 Apr 91 09:12:18 GMT Organization: University of Washington Lines: 30 D D I was just wondering if anyone out there in the network world could send me some information about how I can take full advantage of my new system. I just bought a 386-33MHz, and it's really nice and everything, but someone told me I would need certain utilities and perhaps modify some of my applications in order to fully utilize all this power. How do I tap into this system? I guess my main questions are: 1) How can I take full advantage of my Cache memory? (I think there's 64K in here) 2) How can I make use of the 4 MB RAM we had configured in this computer. When I run my compiler, it accesses the hard drive so much I'm afraid I'm going to wear it out. I want to install a chunk of the compiler into memory so it could just access it from there, if that's possible You can either post responses on the network, or e-mail me directly at: markh@milton.u.washington.edu Thanks in advance! --markh .
