- Sorry if this is a faq, but I've not been able to find anything
- on the following, and don't want to get any sales-droids
- on my scent yet -
-
- In looking at buying a Quadra 700, and talking with some people
- who already own one, a couple of unresolved questions have
- emerged. (I'm looking at a 700 vs a 950 because I'm using my
- own money :-)
-
- When you look at the memory slots, you'll see some sockets
- in addition to the standard SIMM slots which are labeled
- VIDEO SRAM - since the Quadra normally comes with 8 bit color/
- b&w capability, what does filling these memory slots give you?
- Increased speed? 24 bit color?
-
- Dayna Cache Card - From the ads, I've seen that Dayne sells a
- cache card for the 700/900. Can anyone say what kind of speed up
- this gives (it appears not be be an acclerated card, just memory).
- It there a difference between that model and the one for the 700/900/
- 950 model (other than about $100)?
-
- Please either e-mail or post here.
-
- THANKS!
