- I recommend that u get at least a 8mhz Zip GS. 7mhz is too

- mhz. There is quite a difference too from 8 to 9 mhz but it depends on
- what ur main concern is: if u're doing lots of CPU intensive jobs like
- mathematical calculations, then the speed diff is not much but for
- animation, graphics and windows, u can really see the diff! I know 'coz
- I just upgraded my ZipGS from 8mhz to 9mhz.

- : 4. Oh, one final thing! With the proposed set-up what would be
- : the most cost effective Cache size for the ZIPGS?
- :
- 32k is a good cache size for 8mhz. Remember to get fast cache
- ram chips otherwise ur accelerator will be bottlenecked by the cache.
