Hum... actually the most important thing to note about Indy CPUs is
whether or not the par is a R5/4x00PC or SC.

The SC parts do have 2nd level cache, the PC do not. There is a R5000PC
too and it is pretty slow. Basically stay away of the PC parts and you'll
be fine.

R5000 are usually faster because they are a dual issue superscalar design,
plus they can do certain geometry ops in HW. XZ is the highest level of
graphics that can be installed in the indy. There was a very rare dual
head option....

Other than that, it is a fine machine...
