What is the benifit of UNUSED RAM?? RAM used for cache can be cashed in
(pun intended). It will be flushed and used for programs, data, buffers,
etc. when needed by the kernel.

Hello,
In Mandrake, is there a way where I can control the amount of memory being
used as a disk cache? I've noticed that sometimes Mandrake is using almost
100MB of physcial RAM as a disk cache, especially after doing something
intensive such as compiling an application. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to
shrink
I have 256MB of physcial RAM in my box. I would *think* that having a
maximum
of a 64MB disk cache would suffice. Any thoughts? Thanks...
