~uffers
)etting the number
»f
disk buffers
Buffers
Purpose:
Allows you
to
set
the
number
of
disk buffers
that
MS-DOS
allocates
in
memory
at
the
time you start
the
system_
Syntax:
buft'ers=x
Comments:
The
x
option
is
the
number
of
disk buffers, from 2
to
255. A disk
buffer is a block
of
memory
that
MS-DOS
uses
to
hold
data
when
reading
or
writing_
The
default
number
of
buffers is
2.
But for applications such
.as
word
processors, a
number
between
10
and
20
provides the
best
performance. If
you
plan
to
create
a lot
of
subdirectories,
you
may
even
want
to
increase
the
buffers value
to
between
20
and 30.
Remember, though, that buffers take
up
space in memory,
so
you
should
not
increase their
number
to
a value
greater
than 30.
Example:
To
create
ten
disk buffers,
put
the
following line in
your
config.sys file:
buffers=10
c
cJ
