- I have the Digital Daystar ComboCache Card. It works fine and speeds up
- the CPU maybe 25%. I have found no compatability problems. My only
- complaint is that it is a little pricey for what you get. Logica sells a
- Dualport board with FPU and 64K of cache for less. I have seen it is the
- back of MacUser for around $250. Seems like a good deal to me.
