And, of course, getting a Mediator will allow you to use the wonderful SuperTV software! :-D

Okey dokey. So, what cards (other than Voodoo, which I hate) do we have available?


Well, if you want to use fast ethernet, SB128 audio, or TV cards in a mediator, you HAVE to have a voodoo card in there (at least until SharkPPC/OS4, provided they ever appear of course :).

But put aside your hatred for the Voodoo. I'm sure your hatred most likely stems from the rubbish 3dfx windows drivers.

Hyperion and Elbox's drivers for the Voodoo are fantastic; intuition benefits from the 2D blitter (intuition responsiveness is better than the two amithlon boxes i've used. YMMV of course :-) ), and Quake 2 runs OK at 640x480 even on a 68060!
