segosa Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Why's it useless? It lets programs start much faster after you've started them once.. kind of like web browser caching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Here's an article that explains what Prefetching is and how to clean it without disabling it http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-10877_11-5796430.html# On that note you could write a BAT file that could clear it out for you.

anus Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thanks all of you. Travis, Yeah, sorry. I made a mistake, I forgot to try Google. Thanks for that link though, I'll try it . Wolf, Thanks a lot for that, mate. I checked it out and it's a great guide. Segosa, Yeah, but I don't notice much performance difference from using prefetch. Plus, my PC is a mid-range PC so i'd be better off just disabling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
