Run php info (you can find it in the admin control panel at the very bottom in the "Maintenance" section. Scroll down and look for XCache and/or memcache. I'm not as familiar with eAccelerator or APC but they would likely appear there as well.

In order to configure vBulletin to work with the installed cache you would need to edit includes/config.php. The line is near the bottom and will look like:

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_ XXX';

where XXX is the method that you use.

If you are on shared hosting you should provide a "datastore prefix" with the line:

$config['Datastore']['prefix'] = 'ZZZ';

where ZZZ is some prefix that will identify your items in the cache.

If no cache methods are available and you are on shared hosting you can ask your host to install XCache for you.
