The above depending on what memory or processor speed you have will make your computer slower cause your caching actually on disk also if you have a KEY meter which switches off the supply this really messes up stuff its good in one sense and not so good in another.. So be very careful give it ago see how things go but to be 100% i dont find much difference in speed weather thats switched on or off.. So its up to you!

hi, I havent had one hard disk mess up due to changing any of those settings, there are more advanced steps that could be taken such as registry hacks but for the scope of things here I have kept it simple and cost free. I work for a large computer company on brunswick !! (s) disk drives are so cheap now anyway but its where you get off, I mean once you start spending on an old machine is it really worth it? You could always ask around for returned stock sold cheaper. Epox uk used to be very good but they have gone! you could get motherboards for a tenner. and use your old parts on a semi new board. Swapping to NTF can also improve performance too but again I didnt want to go too deep.

yer i now niether have i but we gotta put those precautions in cause we are talking about caching once things are cached and something trips it does mess things around but to be 100% ive never really noticed any difference with or with out the caching on maybe i need to get out more

*lol* depends upon drive size too, *g*! puts my sad hat on
