yeah it would be amazing with a 7.2 megs per sec memory bandwidth
seriously we dont need agp on our amiga , besides an agp board has allready been made ? , and its called "sharkppc+" , this one should give great performance unlike mediators etc, why? well because of the fact that its a own motherboard who only talks to the main amigamotherboard when it needs to (sounds weird
) , so if and when that come , well there u go...agp in your amiga.
dont confuse this with sharkppc which is just a pci g3/g4 card., the + model has more stuff so.
anyway if u knew how slow the pci stuff on amiga is atm , well then you wouldnt ask of this atm i guess , but then again everything is better when its an pci/agp standard, ie you could get cheap hardware without looking for months/years.
mediators on a4000 gives about 14-20 megs a sec and a1200's about 6-9 megs per sec, sounds little ? ,well remeber its a hack and remeber it feels fast as hell compared to zorro2/iv hacks that has been made etc , so it was a good start.
the agp would be slower if it was just slammed a agp bus on a mediator, a sharkppc+ would be much faster and i think you should get +50megs a sec without a prob (pegasos is only 70-75 in write speed per sec) (amigaone higher though not too much higher).
i hope this helped and didnt confuse ya totally.
i aint against hw ugrades at all, but somewhere must the limit go.... i want a sharkppc and + btw
pps: atari falcon came with pci first , now they also have agp
cheers
