- The price you gave is for the PowerCard w/o FPU.
- Some math intensive application may still run faster on the IIci.
- The comparison would be easier if you used a PowerCache with FPU
- In case you don't know, Daystar announced a 20-38% price cut in
- all of its accelerator products. It won't be long till street
- prices also fall proportionally. Then, you may just get the FPU
- version for under $500.
