Guys, I'm wondering how one could use the WB > 3.1 (I just got my 3.9 CD:) with even a (quite old but still *very* cool) voodoo3 using one of those tricky mediator cards :
http://www.buy.elbox.com/cgibin/shop?info=203M4DI&sid=78819134I'm really interested in getting one for my A4K, only the price is currently stopping me :-P
Is there anyone here with a good experience of both fitting and *using* one of these in a DESKTOP A4K ? I mean,
# What is the most powerful GPU you can use with it ?
# How is the memory on the Graphic board used by WB/Intuition ? Do you end up with more "graphic mem" ?
# Is it really accelerating either DPaint or Brilliance ? I mean, what I want is the fastest 2D animation machine I can get my hands on.
# Is the TV-Out built into the V3-3000 working ?
# Is the latter genlockable ? And allowing for proper 15Hz operation ? (old ECS games on a TV, for start)
# How does it feel to use such powerful boards on a 040@25Mzh CPU ? This latter, although very subjective, is actually the most important one. Is the resulting computer really usable, and still cool ?
# Does it stay cool ? I'm only talking temperature here.
Thank you for the insight, those are serious questions. I know the Pegasos is around, I know it pretty much *rules*, or at least it will (Pegasos2 coming, I heard from my retailer ?) but look, the 4K is still really a good graphic workstation. I will use it until, as africans say "the engine falls on the floor". I just love it.
peace 8-)
