I have an "upgrade-challeneged" 6500/275 that I have decked out with
options and am not willing to part with just yet. I just bought
Sonnet's G3/300 1MB Cache accelerator and am VERY impressed. I don't
pound it lik I do the machines at work; it's more of a general
purpose machine for my family. But now it's faster than my PowerBook
G3/250, and we expect RoadRUnner service within 6 months and THEN I
will appreciate the speed! Dial-in is too painful when you're on a
T1 all day.

Short version: I love it!
