G-REX vs Mediator vs BVision
« on: December 13, 2004, 04:08:33 AM »
Some question from someone that want to upgrade the classic hardware...
1) Is it worth to disable my bvision in favour of an pci solution with voodoo3 ?
2) Can I run all the software that works with my bvision with any pci solution ?
3) what pci solution is better/faster ?
4) what pci solution has the most driver support ?
5) why mediator is so expensive and Grex so cheapy ?
Can you list the supported drivers for these 2 pci boards ?
I'm eagerly waiting for your replys!!!
   :-?  :-P
PS what about demos? does it run with voodoo all of them ?

Thank you very much all of you.
How can I find what revision board do I have ? I know I have a P5 product. And you said the speed of the pci's isn't faster than on bvision, isn't a vooooo3 3000 faster than bvision on 3d graphics if so 3d games/demos won't be faster than a bvision ?

Anyone knows what problems has the revision 0 blizzardppc board with the grex?
because I run the boardtype prog and it says my board is rev.0 and it may have problems with the bvision PPC...
I have the bvision in another rev.0 board for 6 years with no problem at all!!!
And as far my new blizzppc card is working flawlessly with the same bvision an its rev.0 also..
is it something critical or does it worth the risk to try ?

As Far as I know Grex is powered externaly from the PSU ..IF thats the case so its not an power problem..
But if it is I'm sure I can manage it. Something tells my thats not only the power issue.
Anyway I remebered that I have a friend with an Grex updated with 2 busmasters slots..
I will try if I find some time to test it tommorow and I will post the results.
By the way.. Anyone knows if Grex has some problem with powerFlyer ?
I belive that mediator doesn't because both products come from elbox..
I mean physically and electronicaly.. I have mine Pf raised of about 1cm by adding 2 socket more in each rom socket of the amiga..
