Why isn't SmartDrv >a real cache? You're proof that the PCTools solution is a bad one... I was the poster you referenced. Problem is you got the quotes wrong... Before the world comes down on both of us let me set it straight. Microsoft told me not to use SMARTDRV unless absolutely necessary as some mysterious hangs could be attributed to the use of SMARTDRV. Qualitas told me SMARTDRV isn't a "real cache" and I should use theirs.... or PC-Tools. Others have mentioned the Norton cache which I have no personal experience. --- Dan Aksel
