>> A _software_ cache is in ram, running at full system speed (i.e. 33 mhz). > Not on a localbus 33Mhz machine... Yes, *IF* you are talking about a local bus machine. I was not. I was talking about an ordinary ISA bus machine. Besides, even with a cache and local bus, there is a limit to how fast data can be read from a hard drive. Take the number of actual sectors per track, take the platter RPM, do some simple division and you find out what the PHYSICAL limit of the hard drive is. No cache in the world can make that better.
