Mediator vs Prometheus

[Ilwrath]

If you'd like, I can do a benchmark for my Prommy against my Mediator.

Yeah... That'd be really cool.  I think everyone would be interested in the results.  Put an end to the FUD.  Run a P96 speed, an AmiMark, and a ttcp on each, and post the results.  

I'm very interested to see what the differences show up as.  And how much difference a PCI NIC vs a Zorro NIC makes, etc...  (Personally, I'd suspect Prommy and Mediator show similiar performance, but who knows?  I don't think it's ever been done before.)

Real information is always good!

Now reminder, even if the Promethius is found slower than the Mediator, the Promethius is a lot cheaper than the other solution.

Certainly.  Though it is good to have a numerical idea of the real-world performance difference (or lack thereof) between the two solutions.  I still suspect both systems will post similiar numbers.  What are the rest of the specs for your test system, Downix?

If the prommy turns in a solid performance, it would, indeed, make it a VERY tempting goodie.  (I have an extra Voodoo3 and RTL8139 sitting here...)
