G-Rex vs. Mediator?
« on: June 11, 2007, 06:27:09 PM »
G-Rex and Mediator are both great PCI-bridge cards but which one is better?

I am asking this because I am planning to get one (eager to do some Voodoo tricks on my display :hat: ).

Well of course one good point for Mediator is that you don't need PPC(which I got) so you could use it also in non-PPC Amiga (when PPC breaks down). But on the other hand G-Rex cards seem to be cheaper.

Are there also some compatibility, stability and performance differences between these cards??


Cheers!  :pint:

ok, thanks! :-)

BTW : How to check out the revision of the BPPC? (manufactured in 1997). Could rev0 have some serious problems with G-Rex?
