BUFFERS



Syntax:

To allocate memory for buffers in conventional memory:
BUFFERS=n [,m]

To allocate memory in upper memory blocks (if available):
BUFFERSHIGH=n [,m]

Use
Used in the CONFIG.SYS file to set the number of disk buffers (a number from 1 to 99) that will be available for use during data input. Used to specify the number of "disk buffers" and "secondary cache buffers" to be made available in memory.

While conducting input and output operations, DOS stores information in memory buffers so that it will be readily available when requested by an application. The more buffers set in the CONFIG.SYS file with the BUFFERS command, the faster DOS will be able to access the information requested.


Example

EXAMPLES

BUFFERS=30 This is the Normal setting
