The current G4/800 has only the onchip 256K but no L3 cache. If FMServer doesnt use it then the computer is alot cheaper. falkaholic: I agree except the hair being split is, in this case, worth CDN$1600.00 and if its not used the money might be better spent on SCSI etc. Liveoak: Do you remember if those tests were with the server version of the software?

Does anyone know if the existence of a backside cache (L2/L3?) on a Mac running FMServer 5.5 (OS9 or X) make for a large performance difference? I have been considering a G4 800MHz w/o backside. I cant access the fmbench site search to see if there is a comparison of the 733 with and without. Filemaker cust service says no it uses the system RAM much more but some other benchmark sites (barefeats) seem to think that it makes a big difference in database applications. If anyone has fmbench exports they can email me i would appreciate it. Thanks
