go to:

Edit/Preferences/Performance...

In the upper-right hand corner you see "History States:" and a number beside it. Change the number to however many undos you want. Hit ok.

It takes effect right away.

That is correct but unless you have lots of memory to spare, 20 should be plenty.

You want to change the 'history states' number. Not the cache levels.

I use Photoshop mostly for artwork, so I have mine set to 500 'undo' states. It takes a lot of ram, but works. I have 4 gigs of ram right now. It does slow things down though.

You need more than 20 I would say. 100 should be good. Up to you though.
