Steve do have a point on the swap file. Increasing its size will not speed up the
computer. Although, O/S 2 use a different swapping technique than Win,the basic
idea is the same. Just like S/W disk cache, there is a balancing point once you pass
it, increasing the size will in fact decres the speed of your computer.

BTW.From my personal experience, Win95 is faster than OS/2. (I have Wrap and Win95-M8 2
identical system).
