Title: Is this graphics card ok for use in a Mediator (A1200)?
Post by: MarkAshley on October 02, 2005, 04:53:33 PM

Would somebody in the know mind having a look for me?

http://www.cs-software.com/hardware/3dfx/3dfx_voodoo_order.html

It's the one labelled "3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI 64MB for PC". Will the card work ok with games that require CyberGraphX/Picasso?

Thanks
Mark

yes, it works very good with the mediator.

if it had stated that it was the Mac version then you would have
had to reflash the bios to the pc one.

Yes, it will work, but please don't buy one for $279!!  They go for ~$50 on eBay.

I wasn't planning on spending $279. I am watching one on eBay at the moment, but didn't want to post the link as it may get other people bidding :lol:

Selfish? Maybe.
Poor? Definitely  :roll:
