graphic card

@ Lodbro

Zorro graphics cards can be expensive to buy, unless you get a result on EBay.

You might want to try the Mediator PCI busboard for your A3K.  You'll probably need to mount your system in a larger case to fit, but you'll have access to a wealth of PCI cards at a fraction of the cost of their Zorro equivalent.

A Mediator board has drivers for PCI Voodoo cards from the Banshee right the way up to a Voodoo 5.  You can also fit Soundblaster, 10 / 100 Ethernet and USB cards to your Mediator system so they're well worth consideration as in terms of performance the Voodoo range is way ahead of anything currently avilable on the classic Amiga line.

According to AmigaWorld magazine, it is better to have a 2-meg video board then a 4-meg video board.  When I find the article, I will post it.   :-D

Please do, I'd be interested in why.

I cannot see one reason why someone would choose this card over a Voodoo.

Hi Brian,

Keep in mind that the video standards for the Classic Amiga computer are the following:

GVP EGS Spectrum
Picasso
CyberVision

Standard?  Which standard?

So, as long as a person has one of these video boards in their Classic Amiga, they are doing great.  If a person wants PCI slots then get a PC computer.  A "true" Amiga computer does NOT have PCI slots.   :roll:

Well, I certainly haven't sufferred any great calamity for having PCI in my system.  On the contrary, it's provided me with access to reasonably priced sound cards, graphics cards and network cards with the option of TV if I so wish.

Why would an Amiga possibly be disadvantaged by having PCI?
