Sets the number of kilobytes that Win95 reads ahead. (Reading ahead makes the audio drive work
harder than necessary.)
Graphics Hardware Acceleration
In non-AGP computer systems (computers using VGA cards), graphics acceleration settings can
force your video card to hog the PCI bus. Crackling and zippering in the audio while opening and
moving windows is a warning sign of this.
Try lowering the acceleration settings of your graphics hardware. This is done by going to Start/
Settings/Control Pane/System, then selecting the Performance tab and clicking the Graphics
button. A slider in this control panel allows you to select the amount of hardware acceleration. Try
using Basic Acceleration Functions or No Accelerator Functions to reduce noise from PCI
burden within your system.
Read-Ahead Optimization
If you find that you are getting noise when adding more tracks of hard disk audio, try this to optimize
your system and increase the number of tracks within your system.
