Now that I've gotten my Mac IIci (a wonderful step up from a Mac II!)
I am wondering whether my best investment for an upgrade at some point
would be to boost the memory from its current 4MB RAM to a higher
amount (going up to 8MB should cost ~$400) or buying one of the new
IIci RAM cache cards (est. $900, populated).

According to the latest IIci review in MacWorld, having the cache card
can give you up to 70% performace increases with some classes of apps.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

				Thanks.
