I have a pc with 4 gb of ram. I am thinking of buying 16 gb of ram because it might help windows 7 cache more "stuff" and I would browse stuff faster and maybe it would allow games to cache all data as I play and decrease disk reads.
Does windows 7 need a fixed amount of ram space for cache or does windows 7 use all the ram it can? Will installing 16 gb of ram make a significant impact on my experience?

What will make a difference with that much RAM, is the RAMDisk you could install. http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk .
You can then put your TEMP folders and cache folders on there, which will make a large difference. RAM can easily read and write at 2GB/sec.
