Merlin vs. Retina Z2
« on: December 28, 2008, 12:59:48 AM »
I`m gonna buy some GFX cards, and wanted to know which one is better??

Using an A4k 040, 16MB, A2091 w/2MB.
and also A2k 68000, 2MB, A2091 w/2MB.

PS. If I replaced the A3640 with another 040 card, would it make the A4k noticibly quicker (Workbench, OctaMED, AmigaAMP)

If so, how much would one cost, and which one should I go for?

Cheers!!! :lotsacoffee:

I know all that, but that doesn`t answer the question

Do you make music (or listen to music) with more than 4 channels?  Then you should get an 060 card.  It makes a ton of difference.


Most of my stuff is MIDI these days.  It was cheaper to get a professional rack-mount Akai S3000xl sampler, than it was to get a second hand Amiga soundcard!!  The sampler would have cost £1800 in 1997.  I got it for £120 last year.  Unbelievable.

So, I can run as many channels as I want with hardly any overhead.  (normally dont use more than 16 anyway)

Just got a GFX card, so hopefully I can get more channels on screen at once, without my eyes bleeding from interlace inflicted wounds.
