Our current Dells have 2M cache, and I'm trying to determine whether
the 8M cache will make a significant difference or not. Can someone
recommend a testing procedure for determining whether adding cache is
worthwhile or not? I can simulate a test load at any time, but I
don't know how to tell whether the cache is the bottleneck of the
CPU or not.
