re cache card for iisi can some people with cache cards please post speedometer numbers they get with the cards i have only one report which seems to indicate that a k cache card gives you only about a speedup ok i have a record that shows a iisi with and without a kb cache it s small enough that i will attach it i have also measured some real programs with and without the kb cache the speedup varies a lot from app to app ranging from to i think an average of is about right the subjective difference is not great but is sometimes noticable a simple cache card certainly does not transform a iisi into something enormously better i do not have an fpu the conventional wisdom says that cache cards from all of the makers offer about the same speedup and that there is not much difference between k and k caches i bought mine from third wave for well under i have had absolutely no problems at all with it if you get complete speedometer runs for a k cache i d like to see them let s check the conventional wisdom the so called performance rating numbers by themselves are of no interest cheers peter newton newton cs utexas edu
