These are 2 subjects I haven't seen mentioned much so here goes... 

Is there any substantial benefit to increasing a motherboard's (static 
RAM) cache from the oft-sold 256K to something greater (like 512K or 1MB 
where applicable)?  Likewise faster SIMMs (< 70ns) and correspondingly at 
what point is it appropriate to lower the wait states in the BIOS?

because inquiring minds want to know...

regards,
larry

PS: this is cross-posted almost verbatim to another list, but there's 
    little correspndence between the two -- apologies to all offended 
    parties
