Hi

I got a P II 300 with 64 MB of RAM and 500 MB space on the unreal disk

and 500MB space of my C: drive

also I have Monster II 8MB and an ATI AIW PRO 4MB AGP card , Creative PCI64


unreal runs smoothly and the graphics are fantastic , but

disk access pauses happen just too much , every time I open a door

or when a monster attacks , there is a pause , why is that ?

I changed the cache size ( CacheSizeMegs ) to 4 , 8 , 48 and nothing

I switched windows 96 virtual memory to my own file of 300 MB insted

of letting windows manage it ( is that fixed swap file ? , if not how ? )


nothing I do seems to work


can anyone help ?


Thanks

Moshe
