I know that Dave is a fan of this particular configuration; but I would 
caution you that, if you follow his advice, you do so at your own risk. I 
have personal knowledge of someone who turned on write-behind cacheing 
under DOS and rendered their drive a meaningless jumble of bytes. 

OTOH, I am sure that there are dozens of people on this reflector who, like 
Dave, use this command and have never had any problem with it.
