"System cache mode" tends to starve applications, in the name of making a larger file cache, on the assumption that the machine needs better/faster file performance. A "file server" needs better file performance, than a "user desktop", so might be a better candidate for "system cache mode". http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895932 HTH, Paul |

The term 'File Cache' was more prevalent on NT4 operating systems because that is the term that was used in the NT4 Task Manager. With Windows 2000 the Task Manager File Cache counter was changed to include the transition list and they decided use the term 'System Cache' instead of "File Cache", but really they're the same thing and the underlying Performance Monitor Memory\Cache Bytes counter counts the same thing on both NT4 and the newer Windows 2000/XP.
