Dave: Isn't that what I said? <g> Seriously, if you can get maybe 512K or more, it might make a difference. But there are better places to spend your money. Remember that doubling the cache size only results in a small percentage increase in hit-rate. You can improve speed by going to an exotic cache design, but the results will still be minor. Evan

Gotcha! I should spend the $100 on two more megabytes <g>. Or an eighth of a Weitek. Or… TEQUILA!!! Dave

Dave: More RAM. Yea — that's the ticket. No such thing as too much RAM. Evan
