Is it really worth the extra ~$250? All my figures are subjective. I can say that during the diagnostic phases of getting my "memory" problems fixed, I ran for a while without the memory and my perceived performance was horrible. Therefore, I must assume that you would get a great boost with cache memory. *IF* you have the newer Martin mainboard, you should be able to purchase the memory chips from other source, for less. The part numbers from two different chips are: TOSHIBA 9348HAK TC55328AP-15 Japan AND 9319 Z USA MT5C2568-15 You will need 9 chips if you have 32MB of ram or less. You will need 10 chips if you have MORE than 32MB of ram. Just plug in the chips and move a few jumpers. -- merlin - mystical wizard - merlin@vnet.net
