Setting 'File System' to 'Network Server' makes your computer faster because it optimizes the file system. More data is cached when reading from the disk, so reading in files is faster. Does anyone know other ways to speed up my computer, as some of the stuff i do on it is really slow (Pentium II 350mHz w/Windows 98 SE)

Will there be other trade off setting the File System to "Network Server" when you are not really a network server?

You mentioned that more data is cached when reading from the disk and thus will be faster. Some questions popped up in my mind as I just studied file management systerm. What I know is that you still have a fixed amout of cache in your computer, so caching more data doesn't make any sense as some other data in the cache will have to be removed from the cache for thie 'more data' to be written to the cache.
