I'm thinking of buying the Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKB 500GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive from Newegg, which has a 16 MB cache. My other hard drives have either 2MB or 8 MB caches. Will the larger cache help make windows open faster while I'm surfing? I'm already using 10MB cable broadband and sometimes it stalls and takes time to open on a webpage. I'm emptying my temporary files on exit and defragging weekly. Any help is appreciated.

will be a possible slight improvement in hd speed but has nothing to do with the stalling on the net. download, install & run ccleaner from this link. http://www.filehippo.com/download_cclean...7c7bea1c8e7e37/
when setup properly, it will auto clean your windows each time you start windows.
