WOW! that's really OLD information.

The suggestion to turn off Write Caching is really a work around
for some older DAW's (Nothing every written by SF) that
were designed for DOS and didn't handle having a cache show
up in Windows very well.

Vegas, like all Sonic Foundry products, is tuned to run best with the
DEFAULT settings of Windows (Event better if you run Windows NT with
2 processors).
