Is a Mediator 4000Di worth it?

[motorollin]

I've got a X-Surf, a CV64 and a KickFlash in my A4000D's Zorro slots. I'm thinking about upgrading to a Mediator 4000Di so I can use a Voodoo and a 100MB Ethernet card. I'm wondering if this is a worthwhile upgrade? Will the graphics performance be significantly better than the CV64? Can I still use the KickFlash on the Mediator? (having said that I'm not sure it's actually working but hey).

TIA

No way :-) The Mediator is an upgrade for the A4000 anyway so I still need the 4000.

I'll never sell my A4000 so you might as well forget it now :lol:

The "Di" in "Mediator 4000Di" means it's a Mediator expansion which fits inside the A4000D case, unlike previous versions which required a towerised A4000. If you want an A4000 (you really really do) then why not place a wanted ad in the Marketplace forum?

@baz
I paid about £250 for mine, but prices vary greatly. Best to post a wanted ad and see what offers you get.

@amigaz
Thanks for the tip about losing the video slot. It's not a problem ATM as I'm not using a videoslot scandoubler, so I think I'll go for the Mediator at some point.

Thanks for all the advice. I want to keep my A4000 as a desktop so the 4000Di is the only option if I want PCI. I'm not really bothered about the video slot as my screen has VGA and SCART input, so it can display the Amiga and Voodoo outputs. From the sounds of it the Voodoo will perform significantly better than my CV64 so I'll go for the 4000Di when I can afford it.

Sell the CV64 and your already half way there :-)

Maybe the sale of my X-Surf will provide the other half :idea:
