It all depends on what caching engine you have installed on your server.

You need to first install a caching plugin for Apache or IIS or whatever, then download the right version for your PHP server.

I recommend the XCache version if you don't already have a caching engine installed. If you have dedicated hosting, you'll have to install it yourself. If you're on a shared server, contact your host and ask them what PHP caching engine they have installed (they usually have APC or eAccelerator already there).

just about says it. You'll need to ask your host to enable eAccelerator to continue.

NST's plugin accelerates the serving of all non-html-cached content on your site. So stuff that's not being cached by wp-cache, or stuff that's expired in wp-cache's cache will be served quicker with this plugin.
