Changing memory management to system cache results in BIG PROBLEMS

I am actually posting this in hopes that microsoft
personal will read it.

I have the following configuration:

* Gigabyte GA-8IHXP motherboard
* Intel Pentium 4 2.53 Ghz
* 2 40gb Identical Western Digital IDE Hard Drives raided
using the RAID 0 (striping) set-up using the onboard
Promise Fasttrack 133 MB Lite raid controller.
* 1 20 gb Western Digital HD IDE
* ATI Radeon 9600
* SMC 10/100 NIC
* Netgear 10/100 NIC (disabled)
* AOPEN CDRW
* AOPEN dvd-reader
* Windows XP PRO SP1

I have a very repeatable bug/error for you.
If I were to go into the system properties, advanced,
performance, advanced, "Memory Optimization" and change
it to system cache, on the next boot I will get the
following errors but not limited to the following errors
in ANY way:
Write-behind cache errors (unable to save data, data lost)
Prefetch errors
Usually Windows will not even start, if it does by some
miracle then it is useless as it continues to throw these
errors left and right.
I have to restart it in Safe Mode which it will run a
scandisk and repair the damage that was done, and then
reboot. Then start it in safe mode again, change the
setting back to "programs" and restart. After this
Windows starts up fine, no errors.

Why is this?

I am up to date on all of my patches
