You can gain system speed by changing your computer's role from Desktop to Network Server.

With the Desktop computer setting, VFAT allocates memory for the 32 most recently accessed folders and the 677 most recently accessed files, consuming approximately 10K of memory.  When you use the Network server setting, VFAT allocates memory to record the 64 most recently accessed folders and the 2729 most recently accessed files, consuming approximately 40K of memory.  The additional 30K RAM is well worth it.

To change the setting:

• Right click the My Computer Icon
• Click properties
• Click the Performance Tab
• Choose the file system tab
• Change typical role of this computer to Network Server
