Mediator voor A4000D without fast turboboard ...

[Framiga]

Hi Effy

ooops . . too late :-)

I would like to suggest you (if you can afford) the A4000 Mediator with its backplane for a cheep tower case. (no needs to purchase a priced PowerTower even if it is a good choise IMHO)

Beleive me, the A4000 in a tower, fixes a lot of small problems related to the space available, stability and coolings but as already said . . .too late :-)

Ciao

-edit- by the way . . .a Mediator and a PowerFlyer with a 040@25Mhz card!!! mhhh not enought IMHO

As soon as i'll receive my new 68040@33Mhz (40Mhz mask), i'll tell you if you can upgrade your CPU card. (only 12,90 EUR from Vesalia)

Hi Lemmink

yes but he has sold yet his CS 060 :-(

Strange decision IMHO (no offence Effy but really strange)

Ciao :-)

Hi Effy

mmhhh! interesting question . . .i think that should be better to have a SBuster rev.11 (16 MB/sec throughput against of the 4 MB/sec of the rev.9) but i haven't a Mediator ATM, so :-)

Which SB rev. do you have?

Ciao

PS- i had originally the SB9 and when i've upgraded to rev.11, i haven't seen any particular speedup with my GFX card (CV64) . .  . .anyway with Mediator could be useful to have it. Check on Elbox website.

@Acill

well i'm happy for Effy but . . .through what do you think that the data stream of a PCI card on a Mediator pass through until the mobo :-)

Hi Effy

Vesalia has just reply to my mail about the 68040@33Mhz CPU for 12,90 EUR

"> -is those 68040 CPU pin to pin compatible with the one installed in a CyberStorm
> card? (PGA ceramic)

Yes, it is.

> -it is a full FPU-MMU 68040 model?

Yes, it is.

>  . . . and if it is possible, the exact model number.

The processor's exact number is XC68040RC33M.

Framiga : what has this got to do with my computer ?? I have got a humble 68040/25 and don't feel the need (yet) to have it replaced with a 33 Mhz one because that will probably require another crystal, not ??

quite and simple answer:

You wish to OC a 25 Mhz CPU to 35 or more Mhz . .right?

With those Vesalia 68040 cpu and for only 12,90EUR, you can OC without problem untill 40 Mhz (it is a 40 Mhz mask one) and beleive me . . . with a Mediator AND a PowerFlyer installed, you will need it :-)

Ciao

PS- we will see as soon as you wiil install the 2 new items and . . .forget to run all those items with the standard A4000 PSU (145W), as "x56h34" has already said.

IMHO the best option is still a Mediator 4000 with its backplane and a cheap tower case. (if you can't but a PowerTower4000)

Hi Madgun68

. . . ugly, i don't know . . .it depends on the personal tastes but cheaper in the quality of  construction and materials, for sure.

By the way my PowerTower4000 (one of the latest) have an ATX PSU too.

Hi Lempkee

hi Lemmink

i agree for the A3640 that was planned to work @25 Mhz..

But i have an A4000 CPU board that was sold in 3 models: (Hardital PowerChanger).

Mine @28 Mhz

another one at 33 Mhz

and another at 40 Mhz.

All with the same project (i had spoken personally with the Ing Bianco, the planner here in Milan).

FYI even if my board HASN'T onboard ram (like the A3640), the speed increment is proportional
with the clock speed (HD T-rate and even in ram access). The only problem that still is the hi latency of the ram.
