My ZEOS DX2-66 system (no cache except the 8k on the 486 chip) has been trouble-free for over a year, and plenty fast for my needs. I can't help but wonder what the extra cache would do for performance, though. Does anyone have benchmark numbers with and w/o the optional cache, or with 128k vs. 256k? Is it really worth the extra ~$250?
