Is there a difference in speed between the original Daystar Turbos and the later ones that didn't have a cache slot (cache built in)?
A Daystar tech told me that there was a significant performance improvement with the newer version. He told me this (or was it a she?) back around '93 - '95. I've never tested it.

But as it turns out, Equill was testing the newer, presumably faster, Daystar card anyway. Hmmmm. Still puzzled that the Mobius/Carrera math scores are so much higher. I don't think the 33 vs. 40 speed should make a 100% difference in math speed.

Ah, one last question. Equill was that Daystar card originally an 'i' version on which you switched the CPU? I ask because there is a ROM difference between the 'i' version and the full FPU version of the Daystar card.
