I guess next week I will order one for my soon to be acquired A4000D. I figured, why buy a Cybervision 64 when a PC graphics card that costs $25 will woop on a $200 card. Which graphics card are you using? Any drawbacks to this new setup?

Works fine here in an A3000D with a Voodoo3 3000 (tight fit!) and an 8029 Nic. Only issue I have is with the additional delay at setpatch. I once read this was caused by the '040 having to build some memory tables for the PCI range. Adds about a minute to the boot process.
Anyway, it's the fastest 2D i've ever experienced on an Amiga and no stability issues to boot.

I've heard nothing but good things about the prometheus:-P

They survived a hurricane, so they must be of exceptional quality. :-)

sounds good.. I already emailed Red.. this will be a cool upgrade for my A4k. The way I saw it.. Spend $120 for the Prometheus (w/o shipping) buy a Voodoo3 on ebay (~ $15) and a networking card ($FREE - $5) total of $140, instead of buying a Amiga networking card $85, Cybervision 64 $200 which is $285. Replacements for the pc cards are plentiful and cheap :-o :-D

Don't forget that this purchase will also get the most out of your A4K. There's really no way that any amiga genuine gfx card can come close to Voodoo 3 in ability and performance. :-) And the extras, like getting cheap sound and eithernet pci cards is just gravy.
