do mediator compatible cards have much value?

The Videocards are completely worthless. No one would use anything less then a VooDoo3 in his Mediator. about the soundcard, well I guess there are plenty available at a low price, so no luck there too, sorry.

Well the idea is, that someone that has just spend hundreds or EUR or $ on a Mediator won`t be trying to save some money on the videocard making the whole thing pointless after all (he could have just choosen a zorro card and save a lot of money)
Personally I havent heard of anyone using such cards apart from a quick funtesting.
