No matter what I do, my SCSI system is glacial. Still, I'll do what I can. Anyway, does anyone know where I can score some cache SIMMs? I've been reading through the motherboard manual, but the most detailed description of the part I can find is "L2 cache SIMM". Is there only one type of such a thing? I've fired off a message to Kingston, but I don't have great expectations (either "What? eBay, kid!" or "Sure! Those are $399+s/h each. Got a credit card?"). =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAiSTO5sRg+Y0CpvERAq6YAJ9pbStKw71GXcjdmU16+51M3e+fNwCfRGJT bLWtmkAq07tosU3yCnPOKVM= =dKKk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
