My understanding is that all unallocated RAM is put to work as disc cache -- since unallocated RAM is otherwise doing absolutely nothing, this is a great use for it. As soon as you need some RAM, whatever it was caching is marked as flushed as you get your RAM and your disc cache size reduces accordingly. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
