Cooling and power.

Why don't you get a Voodoo board for your Mediator instead? Saves you the trouble of fiddling around with cooling the BVisionPPC.

I take it you have a Mediator PCI 1200 then. I never succeded in
getting my Voodoo 4 4500 working, but Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3 3000
works as it should. As a side note, the Voodoo 4 4500 works fine in my
Mediator PCI 4000.

If you decide to replace the Voodoo 5 5500, go for a Voodoo 3 3000 as
it will enable you to run Warp3D; Voodoo Banshee doesn't.

As I see it, there is no reason to run both. I never tested myself,
but I have been told that Voodoo is faster than BVision. The only game
that has a problem with Mediator/Voodoo is WipeOut 2097; it has some
funny looking graphics during load, but the game looks as it should.

Voodoo is easy to install; as with any other software, just read the
docs.

As I said earlier it depends on what kind of Mediator it is. The newer
ones can accept Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 5 boards, but the oldest of them,
like one of them I'm having, can't My board can't accept Terratec 512i
sound card as well, even though I have updated two of the MACH chips
on the board.
