The IIvx and the IIvi might have come with them but the Performa 600 didn't. My guess is the P600 being the "home oriented/low cost" series (and having the Performa flavor of System 7 and the first built in CD-ROM offering) got the "minimum other" hardware. Funny though, if you ordered the 600 with the CD (which I did new), it came with 1 meg of video ram for thousands of colors. (not that it mattered; the Performa Plus display was dismal at best). > > >For whatever reason, my P600 *even with a 50MHz Daystar PowerCache > >installed* is a sled.

It's amazing to me how much faster the '040s were; even my lowly Centris 610. And my Centris 650 and my Perf. 575 seem light years faster.
