However, my good old CV64-3d card works nice, but I am wondering if I will lose some good features of the CV cards which e.g. a radeon doesn't give ? I do have a scandoubler on my CV card, which enables me to use PAL modes on plain VGA screens which is good for games. I guess this is the major drawback I can see if I go from CV64 to a PCI card.
Voodoo (and Radeon too) is faster than CV64/3D and gives better resolutions, but yes, losing scandoubler in your situation is big loss. Options for that is two monitor setup or using TV-card on PCI as cheap alternative for scandoubler, but it gives worse quality.
When it comes to replacing my Zorro USB controller + Norway module, I can easily use cheap PC networkcard+usb controller.
Keep your Zorro USB controller, but get PCI NIC, they're much faster and more reliable on PCI.
For sound card I'd still recommend Zorro ones. At least I like sound cards which can play mp3 with DSP for example. PCI-cards can't do that.
