File System Configuration Question With WIN98

Could someone please explain to me what exactly what happens when you go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Performance->File System and change "The typical role of this computer" from Desktop PC to Network Server? This has been touted as a tweak to speed up your system. Is it or is it a hack? I am running WIN98SE.
 
It changes the settings of the vcache, which is the disk cache. It makes it larger, and also allows for more files to be open, I think. Somewhere along those lines. It can make a small difference, more if you have lots of RAM.
