what it does is make the puter use ram instead of swap files it uses swap files less 
but it will still use swap files as needed

you also need to change some more settings
to make this setting work or it will go spazo
cause the Vcache will be to hi if you have like 256mb ram then this will help but 
if you only got like 64mb ram it will not help 


have you disable findfast if you have ms office
just a question 

add these lines in the system.ini then reboot

[vcache]
MinFileCache=0
MaxFileCache=16384

[386enh]
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
MinSPs=8

**** use a 4 above if you don't have 256mb ram
MinSPs=4  the default is 2


if you go to the microsoft support site you can do a search on all of these settings

also just type the word into yahoo you will be surpized at the matches found

With these sttings I am online with my normal line up and have 122MB of free ram 
no swap file going
also it takes the load off the processor so the modem has more time to putt 
the bigger the Vcache the processor time is burnt up updating the cache
