If you want to replicate some of the configurations you have seen in the gallery (i.e. higher resolutions and more colours on screen) then you will need a graphics card. Same problem for games which won't let you select the screenmode - they won't display on the graphics card, so will still be displaying at 15KHz. So in this case you would either need two monitors (a VGA one on the graphics card and an Amiga one on the 15KHz RGB output), or a combination of graphics card and scandoubler, with some way to switch between the VGA output from the GFX card and the scandoubled VGA output from the scandoubler.

There is another choice - I use an LCD TV with a PC monitor input. The graphics card is connected to the PC input and another cable connects the TV to he composite output from the miggy. Only 1 screen needed that way

I was always under the impression that a Picasso IV was the best ever Zorro based GFX card.  I don`t like the thought of getting a Mediator - I had a really nasty experience with an A1200 an a Z-IV daughterboard some years ago.  IMO Zorro does quite enough for me.  I mean that whole PCI thing just sounds like a real HACK to me (or maybe a KLUDGE i suppose), but it just doesn`t seem right.  I mean, does it really just work fine, no random crashes or strange buggy things??

Would any of you agree with me, or am I wrong here??

I've had my Mediator & graphics card for just over a year. It may be a hack or kludge, I'm not techie enough to know. But it does work fine, very stable and to see full colour images from the miggy is just amazing OK, it's just what a PC does but it just seems somehow, brilliant, on the miggy
