#CD Speedway
I run basically 3 types of cd-rom software:
1) Data access programs. The data files vary in size from 38k to 60Megs.
The average data file probably runs between 20-30 megs.
>>the file must be able to fit in the cache to be used
effectively<< Will the 60 meg file access be improved with Speedway? (I
don't think I'm going to be installing 60 megs of ram on my system.) My
current setup is: 8 megs ram total; 2 megs in use by Smartdrv. Since the
data files are so huge, will it matter whether I set up an 4, 6, or 12 meg
ram drive.
2) Multimedia disks. Mammals and eventually others. Will the cache affect
these programs adversely (the smoothness mainly)
3) MPC programs, like BattleChess and King's Quest 5. The MPC version of
KQ5 seems to stagger a bit–can Speedway improve this?
I'm sorry to ask you all these questions, especially since I;m probably
going to purchase it anyway. But it would be nice to know how Speedway
will affect different types of programs. THANKS for your help! BTW, can I
purchase Speedway in the mall?
