The ';cache'; is a virtual memory - when RAM in your computer is all filled up the computer uses a file on the hard drive to store additional data that should go to the RAM. Windows sets the size of this file (pagefile.sys) automatically and on a netbook your change wouldn't do much difference, so I suggest you to leave it as it is.
Min size - the starting size of the pagefile.
Max size - the maximum size of the pagefile. If you set this manually and the computer takes up this amount the software you are running could crash because of lack of free memory.How to set the virtual memory of a netbook which comes with 1 GB of ram?
