The L2 upgrade fits in a slot at the front of the C500's motherboard, up under the floppy drive. The slot runs left-to-right not front-to-back. That cache-slot accelerator is available new from Sonnet. A Little pricey for the relative value of your C500, it does nonetheless offer a great kick in speed for them. Check Sonnet's wesite. Then see if you can snag one off eBay for a bargain price. JEff -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
