/me thinks the best is the MediTator way.

 But will costs, hum... let see... a lot!

 But you'll have not only a RTG graphics system (Voodoo! It is faster than any card maded for the Amiga), but in addition you COULD HAVE:

- Ethernet (even fast ethernet);
- USB (no!that you cannot!);
- An audio board like a soundblaster;
- TV turners;
- External "pc" keyboard (not included in the package, but you'll NEED IT, if that is your choice).

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Mediator has really slow bus though, slower than CVPPC/BVPPC. Roughly speaking: If the graphics is in the VMEM already or you're doing 3D, then voodoo is faster. If the speed is measured by moving pixels with CPU to VMEM, then CVPPC/BVPPC wins.

Yeah, but it's a newer RTG system (I know there not THAT new) ;-)

Which is not working at full fast ethernet speeds.

Noticed that, too. "Fast" ethernet is marginally faster than regular (10 Mbit/s) one.

USB

With which USB stack?

Did you see my remark?

TV turners

Analog TV only. Many countries are pacing out analog TV, or have already done so.


This feature is questionable, but exists...

 But there is a way to have 32bit colours on an ORIGINAL AGA system: lick a LSD pill! :lol:
