PMFJI, but I know that some PB computers have a fixed cache. Someone I know had a P100 with - get this - 16KB cache. Fixed!! No way to upgrade to the standard 256 or 512K! That was his bottleneck, once he went to a motherboard with more cache memory. Just my two cents. Unfortunately, I'm jumping in late here, so I don't really know the full story. Sorry if it's not relevant or repetitive. TC
