Merlin RTG card
« on: June 20, 2012, 03:12:01 AM »
Hi, someone offered to sell me a Merlin RTG card.  How are these?  I've read they have issues even with the fixes and I eventually want to get an accelerator when I can afford one.  

What is the maximum resolutions with 4MB RAM at 24-bit, 16-bit, etc...

Thanks for any advice in advance.

I looked at BBOAH, but it doesn't really tell me much (aka, highest supported resolutions at x bit depth, it just says examples).  It also doesn't list the cards it has issues with.  I currently have an X-Surf card and eventually want to get a processor card so I can jettison the ZIP ram I installed and I've heard it has issues with 060 boards.  The guy offered it to me for $140.  I do not think it has the optional daughterboards, it's just the base 4MB card.

I wish I could find a GVP that was cheaper than the one currently on eBay or a Retina Z3 BLT...

I think I've found a CV64 for a good price.

Just bought the CV64!
