I have all three cards, Voodoo3, 4, and 5. The one I prefer is the Voodoo4. I get best performance using this card with some weird tweaks. For one thing, I do not have any of the "envarc:mediator/" environment variables set at all. I have the directory there, just no files inside. With the Voodoo3, I can't get it to work unless certain of these variables are set. The Voodoo4 doesn't seem to care one way or another as long as I have "Devs:Monitors/Voodoo" pointing to "Libs:Picasso96/Voodoo.card". Also, I have been able to overclock the Voodoo4 successfully, whereas the other two cards do not like this tooltype. The Voodoo5 also gets very hot and the display is unstable after several hours. The Voodoo4 can run forever and not overheat, even with "overclock=yes" tooltype set. P96speed gave best results with the Voodoo4 as it is currently configured. i.e. with no Mediator environment variables.
The Mediator has a Window Size Jumper, depending on which Voodoo card u use. Voodoo 5500 setup on the Mediator driver Install demanded the bigger 512Mb Setting on the Mediator. Is this due to the amount of RAM on the Voodoo card being used?
