A GFX card is a must! I personally have a CV3D with its scandoubler module and it`s wonderful :-)  Other cards that support the same config are PicassoIV and CV64 (both offer a scandoubled amiga video).

The only reason that I don`t get a mediator is  that I don`t want to lose the scandoubled video (common VGA/RGB-out, you need just one cable to the monitor, no switchers etc.)

There is a dramatic speed increase with a GFX card. I remember when I had to switch back to RGB out when I had to send my monitor for service... It was a traumatic experience! I couldn't stand the slow window refresh, or text update. Imagine that I was on an AGA  060&PPC Amiga, maximum speed and even used some old hacks (of my pre-gfx card era) to accelerate the OS's gfx routines.
