Hi Chuck,
         Here is the way I have my vcache setup. (I can't take the
credit for the info below as I found it on the web somewhere..... I
would like to give credit to the Author but I don't remember where I got
it.)

Virtual Cache (only if you have 16 megabytes of RAM or more)
Open SYSTEM.INI for editing using NotePad.
Add the following two lines to the [vcache] section (add the section if
it's not there):

MinFileCache=4096
MaxFileCache=4096

These values, in kilobytes, regulate the size of the VCache, so you can
stop it from filling up all available RAM and paging all loaded apps to
disk. If you have more than 16 MB of RAM, then set the above values
(both of them) to 25% of the amount of installed RAM.
