- I have a DayStar 50MHz powerCache in my IIci. I am not too impressed.
- It is a bit faster, but still nowhere near a 486 33MHz, and it cost about
- 1300 with the FPU. I don't think I'd buy it again given the price-to-
- performance increase ratio. Now if you have a slower mac to start with,
- like an si, cx or IIx, you will see quite an improvement and it is a
- better investment. By the way, If you're going to put one in why not go for
- the 50MHz version?
