[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Microway FASTcache-SX

arnaud@schizo.schizo.imposter.samsung.com (Alain Arnaud) (09/28/90)

	I am looking on upgrading my AT with a Microway FASTcache-SX
	card (386SX that replaces the 286). Its available in both
	16 and 20MHz.

	I would appreciate any comments from people who have done
	this.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I saw their ads in BYTE for the
FASTcache-SX starting from $495 (if my memory doesn't fade that fast).
You can get a complete 386-SX motherboard for under $400 which will
allow you to expand to 8 MB RAM on board (at least 4 MB). So ......
