[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] SRAM

I have a Micronics 386-33 ASIC Motherboard with 8MB of RAM in
SIMMS....currently it has a 32K direct mapped cache.  According to the
manual if I install 32K more of SRAM cache, I can go to set-associative
cache.  This "allows for a greater hit ratio"....My qyestions are:

1.  How much do 8Kx8 SRAM chips cost?  (  I need 4 to upgrade)
2.  What will be my REAL speed increasE?  I have 80ns SIMMS installed.

Thanks in advance,

Brian
