Optimizing MPEG playback in Windows 95

You have three ways to optimize MPEG file playback performance in Windows 95: you can adjust virtual memory, adjust CD-ROM caching, or adjust ATI MPEG Player settings. There is no single best way to configure the system. The instructions here describe where to find the configuration files you can use to optimize playback for your system.
