cache card and optimum memory settings here s a question that may be simple enough to answer but has stumped myself and a few others what does an external ram cache card do for you if you already have a large cache set through control panel in your simms ex i have a mac iici with meg ram an external video card so i don t rob my simm s and the default apple cache card i believe this is k say i have my cache set at meg what good does a measly k do me on the cache card could it actually slow things down by dividing the cache between the card and the simm s or does it still speed things up by providing a secondary staging area for data normally passed directly into the simm ram cache i m confused because it seems like cache cards are so low in memory to really do any good compared to what you can set yourself yet daystar fastcache has numbers which show around a performance boost on some operations are the chips on the cache card simply faster than most simm accesses please help i m trying to find the optimum memory settings for the iici system described in the ex above patrick hurh fnal fnal gov
