BUT, I have one other (hopefully non) flame-worthy question, are there any PCI RAM cards in existence, and if so will the mediator accept them?
I don't think so, as PCs (that't what PCI cards are made for) don't use such things. I have seen some strange PCI like setups with RAM on it (no, it wasn't the cache of a SCSI-card) in a server but that was an P1 133 MHz stoneagamonster.
Even if there ware such a thing as a PCI-Ram card, it simply wouldn't make sense, as it would be dead slow.
(remember the route PCI-bus <-> Prozessor works at ZIII speed at best)
There are ZIII RAM-cards like the DKB3128 and the Fastlane with it's RAM that reach about 90% the speed of the A3/4000 Motherboard-RAM.
That was the long answer.
The short would have simply been: no
also have an internal scandoubler/flickerfixer, will I have to get a SVGA monitor switch to use it concurrently with a PCI graphics card on a mediator?
Yes, you will have to use a switchbox, as no PCI-cards has a VGA-trough port (like some Zorrocards). What should they have one for, they were made with PCs in mind that don't need such things.
