Understand that this solution is not a be all, end all solution and does
not help all systems.  Intel systems oft times will slow with these settings.
If you have speed issues, try adding these lines.  If they work for you, then
I am a hero...  if they do nothing...  remove them.  If they slow down your
system, (as reported by a couple of people), then I am a schmuck...  and
I recommend you remove them.  I have seen them speed up K6, K6-2 and
pre-PentiumMMX systems.

The 'chunksize=512' is redundant and not necessary.  That is the default
most Windows9x systems use.   This is the size of the ram memory that
each piece or chunk of memory is allocated, to be used or removed as
the system manages the memory.  The setting is not necessary...
