I have finally been piqued enough to ask.
I keep reading you guys messing with cache, bigger, smaller, faster, slower.
For what purpose?
Unless you have a large memory intense project. like adding gausian (sp) blur in Photoshop, rendering movies or sorting large files, does it really make any noticeable difference?
I don't think that any of that is noticeable to the average computer user who opens files, types, copies, surfs, etc.

I've got a question regarding the use of the L2 cache card in a Mac 7600 that has an accelerator.
The cache card is a 256k one with an access speed of 40mhz. The accelerator's backside cache is 1MB with an 80mhz. access speed.
Seems as if the card-cache would be slowing down the performance. True or no?
And, isn't system RAM a deterrent to speed in a Mac? If it has an acess speed of 100mhz., and the CPU's running at 240mhz. wouldn't this be a limiting factor as well?
And of course the bus speed of the Mac, which in this case is 45mhz.
