I was flipping through the July Computer Shopper in my quest for a 
decent 386 when I came across an ad for MicroGeneration.  Here is the 
info that they give:

     $2999
     386/25Mhz
     64k Cache
     4 Meg RAM
     1.2 Meg Floppy
     1.44 Meg Floppy
     100 Meg IDE Drive w/ 32k Cache
     16bit VGA board w/512k  
     14" 1024x768 Color monitor
     1 parallel and 2 serial ports
     101 Key keyboard
     MS-DOS 3.3 or 4.01
     12 Month TRW on site service

Does anyone have any experience with this company?  They have a two page
ad with color, and seem to offer a great deal.  This will be my first IBM
and I don't want to screw myself right away :)  Also, how much of a speed
difference does the 64k cache make?  They offer the same system without a
cache for $2699...

                         Thanks for your help,
                         Joe Peck
