[G4] To buy or not to buy? This is my question....

[Vernon LeMoignan]

In the 13 tests, the 1MB machine won 5 times and 2MB machine won 8.

of the 8 wins only 2 were significant and both were hard disk related  
(copying large folders). It is likely
that the hard disk was the difference here not the cache.

All in all I think having 2MB cache is better, I just don't think it  
makes enough difference to worry about.
