Greetings and Help !!!
« on: June 27, 2006, 05:02:45 PM »
Hello Everyone

I am new to this site and finally got round to signing up.  How are you all ?

I need some advice. I also need my head seeing to ! I sold my A4000 and now regret it.  Big time !!!  I am trying to get over it right now so have decided to look at upgrading my 1200.

I have one of the original EZ Towers from Eyetech (in the UK) so the 1200 main board is still in the lower half of the desktop case (minus the floppy drive) which is in turn secured inside the EZ Tower. I have 5 drive bays as it is a large format tower (might even be 6) and at the moment I have an Apollo 040 accellerator card.

So, what options are available to me ? How do I get to use a more modern graphics card like an ATI Radeon ? Do I need a Z4 board ? What about PPC cards ?

I guess what I really need to know is what is the best way to upgrade and with what ?

I would appreciate your help out there !

Thanks

Retromania

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I will check out the PPC options and see what (if anything) is available.

What is the Mediator board and how does this fit in to the big picture of things ?

Also, can I get my 1200 to a similar (or better) spec than an A4000 030 ?

Thanks

Retromania

Thanks for the reply - I'm saving up right now !!!

Quite a lot to go for there.  Is the Micronik Infinitiv tower still available to buy new ?  If so, where from ?

Regards
