Is it really worth the extra ~$250? : I recall the Zeos techs telling me that the performance : increase would amount to about 10 per-cent in ms-windows, : if WinTach were used. : I'm interested in what kind of benefit I'd be getting : in X under Linux and XFree. : Anyone from Zeos reading this? It is ZEOS policy that we do not quote benchmarks on our systems. We leave benchmarking to third parties (such as magazine reviews). I can say that the more CPU intensive your application, the more benifit you will get from installing a cache. If you are using disk intensive applications, a CPU cache will not increase your performance as much. -- David Mortenson | | ZEOS International, Ltd. support@zeos.com INET | Any opinions expressed | Technical Support Dept. uunet!zeos!support UUCP | herein are my own | 1301 Industrial Blvd N.E. 612-633-4607 FAX | | Minneapolis, MN 55413
