Title: My Amiga is quite slow
Post by: Phantom on May 28, 2008, 10:18:55 PM: I managed to install a Voodoo4 on my A4000 and I use 1024x768x16 resolution mode. But my Amiga is quite slow. Is that normal? I have a Blizzard 4030 accelerator.

Try dropping back to 800x600x8 for most things and use 1024x768 only for your web browser screen.

Post by: Matt_H on May 28, 2008, 10:28:31 PM: Better, yeah. Even with my 060 machine I primarily use 800x600 for Workbench and most productivity apps.

Post by: Phantom on May 28, 2008, 10:45:07 PM: I switched to 800x600x8 but the pointer changes colors all the time? Is there any hack to fix this?

Post by: SuperTurbo on May 28, 2008, 10:52:25 PM: I use 1280x1024x16 for my 060/voodoo3 and I haven't noticed any significant slow down compared to 800x600... but maybe that's just me :p

I know that there's a hack to make that effect happen. Maybe you already got it installed and the solution is to remove it.
