Also causes my sound to cut out at various points
Athlon XP2500, 9800 pro, 1Gb RAM, nForce2 chipset

According to Tweakguides.com:
image_cacheMinK [KiloBytes] - This setting determines the minimum size in KB
for precompressed image files to be loaded into the cache. To make sure most
image files can be loaded, and to also prevent a system crash when enabling
caching, select a value like 3072 to start with. Raising this setting may
improve caching, but it may also hinder caching if most textures are below
the size you specify, so don't just raise this value for the hell of it.

so YMMV.

What were the original settings? I spaced out and did not back up my
doomconfig. I have a 128MB 9700 card and these new settings don't
seem to benefit me.

Thanks

Jusr delete or rename doomconfig.cfg and the game will generate a new one
when you start the game. You will have to do your controls again though, or
look in the new files for the original settings.

You can just delete the new entries, the entire lines; you don't have to
delete the whole file.
