Right now I use -cache 1048576 (this seems to be the maximum), but I have 4GB of RAM so I could really load almost any movie into it (my usage hardly goes beyond 500MB), but with -cache it doesn't seem to be possible. Or is it possible to increase the cache?

What benefit do you gain from pre-loading the movie into RAM?  Is your 
CPU or video card terribly slow/ancient?
