Browser Cache (what I'm always telling kindrik to clear) Is a saved copy of any webpage you visit so that when you visit again, it runs quicker.
System Cache is an area on your HDD where if you don't have enough RAM programs and other code that you have loaded but isn't doing much gets put there so that other programs can use the RAM. However it's quite slow
RAM is the physical memory in your PC it is lighting quick and the best place to run programs from. When you start a program it moves portions of itself into the RAM so that the CPU can access it and run it. If you want to use something in the cache the it has to swap with something else so that the cached code is now in the RAM. that's why the System Cache is also called a swap file.
You can defragment your swapfile for increased performance, but you need a professional version of diskeeper to do so (the home version doesn't allow it)
answer, much?
