Hello> Can anyone advise me on which accelerator card I can buy for my PowerComputing minitower PowerCenter 150? I am considering between the Sonnet Crescendo G3 300mhz 1mb L2 backside cache and the XLR8 MachSpeed G3 300Mhz 512k/150 backside cache. They are both at the same price here in the UK and low enough, I think, for a purchase now. I believe that the Sonnet is put into a PCI slot whilst the original processor is left in and it bypasses (cuts out) the original processor to take over. I think that the XLR8 is a processor swap. I am not sure about this, since I have had conflicting advice. Also, will there be any noticeable performance speed difference between the 1mb L2 backside cache of the Sonnet's and the 512k of the XLR8's? I haven't a great deal of technical knowledge.
