Should I track down an M8268 (KK11-A)?

I would also agree with Guy that given a choice of cache or FP, take FP. I've done extensive benchmarks with and without cache and found that cache can make significant performance enhancements. Here's a brief summary of my findings of cache speed enhancement: Large FORTRAN compiles and MACRO assemblies run on average 44% faster and large LINKs run 56% faster. Integer benchmarks like HANOI run 57% faster and floating point benchmarks like single precision Whetstone run 19.4% faster and double precision Whetstone runs 16.9% faster. BTW: I have both FP and cache in my 11/34A (11/34C ;-) BTW2: I was surprised that cache helped performance as much as it did in my 11/34 considering that I'm using fast MOS (MS11-L) memory - and the cache was designed as a "kicker" for much slower memory...
