Title: Cyberstorm Phase5 vs Cyberstorm DCE. Anything I should know ???
Post by: Effy on February 23, 2004, 06:50:54 AM
I am about to start on a journey that can change my life. Big words, I know but I haven´t had breakfast yet so I´m still not awake yet. What I am trying to tell is that I have made a deal to swap my Mediator4000Di (not used yet, got it last month and is still in the box) + 100 euro + 3 of my A1200 accellerators (Microbotics 1230XA + 2 1220´s) + a Melody1200 soundcard against a Phase5 Cyberstorm 233/060 with 128 Mb. The question is if I need to know something about the card, meaning the difference between Phase5 and DCE. I know of the differences of the Blizzard PPC cards, but not about Cyberstorm PPC cards ... any help would be appreciated :)

The DCE cards die faster. That's about all the difference. Ich you have the choice, go for a P5 made card, although it is older it sure will last longer.

Sounds about right for a deal. Shame you have to sell the Mediator though. Thinking of towering the A4000?
