Steven: Well, first, my opinion is that for the $ you are fine with 128k of cache instead of 256k… you won't see a proportionate increase in speed for the $ you spend for that expensive memory… I would put that money, plus a little bit more, into extra RAM if you work on large drawings. I would buy a tape back-up system. You can get speed in a variety of ways and not having to redo your work is one…<g>. You might see if Jake Richter, from Panacea and here on this forum, has a windows driver that will work on your setup… this should improve your performance while in windows… maybe even enough for you to be able to tolerate AutoCAD R11 Windows <g>. You will find that if you are going to get into any type of Multi-media or solid modeling stuff your hard disk is WAY too small, if you can believe that! Beyond that, I would say you are splitting hairs… graphics card horsepower is one thing you can look at… but when you get fancy you can get abandoned. C#
