I'll be happy to report back with before/after results, although I don't
have high hopes for something as IO-intensive as building world.  No matter
what I do, my SCSI system is glacial.  Still, I'll do what I can.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can score some cache SIMMs?  I've been
reading through the motherboard manual, but the most detailed description of
the part I can find is "L2 cache SIMM".  Is there only one type of such a
thing?  I've fired off a message to Kingston, but I don't have great
expectations (either "What?  eBay, kid!" or "Sure!  Those are $399+s/h
each.  Got a credit card?").
