For dos to have a similar effect u are going to have to use SMARTDRV. u have to place it in autoexec.bat the line would be C:\smartdrive's path\SMARTDRV C+ 4096 4096 is the size of the cache C+ means read/write cache on C drive it is EXTREMELY flacey under windows 95, so u have to have it out before yu boot to windows again
