Not exactly. I do have 32MB , but my cache size is 1536k.

Why ?  Because in ALL my REAL CASES I have not found any improvement in
having more cache..... I use HPFS since the OS/2 1.3, and every new version
I try with various cache sizes. And I have never seen any improvement in
putting 2Mb of cache.

Of course, in a Server the situation is completely different.....
But I agree that HPFS386 gives some noticeable improvement.

bye/2,    Sandro
