Makes no significant difference if you're using streamed content like youtube IMO.

Thanks for that Heero, I'm afraid it does not make a lot of sense to me. My Firefox cache is set at 299MB and IE at 250MB which seems an awful lot of space. Since my speed rarely exceeds 2MB is these figures acceptable?
I would have thought it would slow down my browsing speed no?
