The Voodoo IS a graphics card. Just for clarification, you need a supported graphics card on the pci bus. This is because part of the graphics card's memory is used for dma transfers.

What are you currently using with the mediator as far as cards go?

So I assume that I will need to get a new GFX card then if I get the mediator? I (will) have a BVision.
If you want to use a SB128, then yes. As I recall, both the SB128 and 100Mbit nics use DMA.

Voodoo cards were somewhat reasonable last time I looked (when I picked up mine.) I outfitted my mediator with the Voodoo 3 3000, SB128 and the nic for under $50 USD. That's not bad at all when you look at what Amiga hardware runs for.
