A machine that is running Widows 98 is often at least 4 or more
years old, so it is often not practical to have that much RAM.

I'm replacing about 1/2 dozen office PC's (each being a P-3, 600 to
850 mhz, 128 mb ram each) to 2.6 ghz Celeron's with 512 mb ram, DVD-rw
(LG 8x) and CD-rw drives, 80 gb Seagate Barracuda drives (very quite),
Zalman copper CPU heatsink AND zalman 400 watt power supply. Very
fast, very quite machines.

They're getting Win 98 (1 master drive is being cloned with Ghost).
Full install of Microsoft office 2000 premium, and all sorts of other
goodies from the MSDN (map point, etc). DVD burning / copying
software (DVD decrypt, DVD shrink, etc).

So based on everything I've read so far, a machine with 512 mb (or
more) of real, honest to goodness RAM will never realistically need to
use virtual memory so it will get turned off.

What's a good setting for vcache? 64 mb? 128?

With your limited knowledge, you shouldn't be in charge of the project you are
doong.
Go ahead and shut off the 'Virtual Memory' function.
Don't come back and cry, if you get 'burned' real bad.
You were given many good sites to look at and learn from.
If you want to argue without putting the time in to learn properly, that's your
problem.
