Voodoo 3

[Wilse]

Hokay!

In an attempt to get some quirks and conflicts between my Radeon 8500 and Morphos resolved, I've decided to go to the root of the problem and remove the damn thing. (The radeon that is, not morphos ;-) ).

I'm planning on bidding for a voodoo 3 on eBay.

Should I go for PCI or AGP? (My radeon is AGP)

Anything else I should look out for?

Cheers folks,

For displaying on a telly?

They used two different types of memory as well
SGRAM and SDRAM on the boards.
Introduced some compatibility problems.

In what way?

The Voodoo 3 3000 is faster than the Voodoo 3 2000

The speed shouldn't be too much of an issue. I just want it to be stable.

-Edit-  
You could always stick your 8500 in your A1...
I got mine working with the latest uboot update.

I intend to.
I had it working but linux pished me off so much that, when the Pegasos mobo arrived, I needed a case and the A1 was the best candidate to be liberated. I'll get another case, CDr, HD, etc, in due course.

Cheers for the tips.

If you buy it in PCI you could later on use it in a Mediator if you decided to buy a classic Amiga...

I still use my A1200 tower most weeks but I don't intend spending much more money on it, if any.

Yes or plugging into a VCR

Cool.
OT: How do you go about getting video images into the Amiga? (Apart from vidi-amiga or vLab motion)

They're is some info about it in my Voodoo3 box I'll PM / Email it you what it says when i get home tonight.

Thanks.
