Just a little note here....256k cache is worth getting up to 32 megs of 
ram. After 32 megs go to 512k. If you go to 512k with less than 32megs 
of RAM it will actually slow the system down. At my part itme job we 
did some benchmarking with this and found it to be true with every MB 
that we tried.

The only qualifier i can put on this one is that the pipline is only 
worth the money if run in conjuntion with EDO ram. if used with regular 
ram you will not notice any significant improvment, if any.
