There is a easy way to do it... 64 megs is the way to benchmark
the real world performance at. Then add memory, and see if the
performance slows down. I use both Norton SystemInfo and Landmark Speed.
Basically, all Pentium chipsets from Intel besides the HX can only cache
64 megs. The HX has a 512 meg limit. The PII Chipsets all can cache
512megs or even higher.
