Yeah, it *SOUNDS* like it would not be a good idea, but, in fact, it IS a good idea. I am not sure of the other settings, but I know that you do not HAVE to have them. I have been using that line for quite sometime in my [386Enh] section of my System.ini and it does wonders for the speed of programs. It accesses your hard disk MUCH less, and with 256MB + of RAM that's definately a good thing!
