VCache Settings

Hello,
My question is regarding the Min/Max settings in the VCache. Right now I am running 524 megs of ram and a 64 meg graphics card. It is my understanding that all this memory goes to the same memory address(don't know how accurate I am)? My MinFileCache=2048/MaxFileCache=32768. My system runs great and it recognizes all the memory. I just recieved a 512 meg stick as a gift. I would like to add this stick and a 256 meg stick to my motherboard, 768 megs total. Will these settings for my VCache work or will I have to adjust or increase them for this added memory increase? Any help would be appreciated.

With more than 512 installed,you "may" run into errors.
Change the MAX line to read
MaxFileCache=524288 and you can get run of the MIN line
BTW All the memory doesn't go to the same memory address!
