Mediator Review - Should I buy one?

[kreciu]

Mediator is a good stuff (I bought new around 6 months ago ) and now I can see my Workbench in 1440x900 on 19" LCD. Now I'm looking for good TV card for it.

But don't expect miracles. There is a HUGE difference between AGA and GFX but still this will not be "PC". But for me this was major update... I used ONLY ECS (A600) and AGA (CD32 and now A1200) so this IS a difference . I have this kind of workbench only on UAE... now it's "real"

You need to remember that Mediator takes 4 or 8 Mb of you FAST RAM so when you have 16 Fast total it will take you 8 Mb on start and than additional other ram for e.g. stupid background picture. (maybe I did something wrong??) so for me minimum to do something with the system is 32 Mb Fast Ram.

Actually I sold my Radeon 1950xt to have some cash for it and I'm happy  :-D (yes, for "just" some PCI slots...)

Maybe it's better "technically" , but Elbox IS DOING something for Mediator... (I really didn't expect "drivers" for 9200). Maybe they will surprise us again... who knows?

Otherwise a graphic card for Amiga is a graphic card (Voodoo, Radeon or Virge it's only 2D yea, I know warp3D ... without PPC is worthless...

Other wise a Mediator is not so "classic" :-D

Don't be fooled into thinking Elbox is raking in the cash or is a big company. You will probably never see another full new product from them again, just minor redesigns.

Unfortunately this become reality for me...

I like Zorro II (good actor play ) but I use Mediator (better communication and mediations...).

Zorro is the best!!!
