higher resolutions
« on: July 11, 2008, 07:40:06 PM »
A bit of a newbie question...

How are people getting the higher resolutions?   I have a 2000 and a 600.  I eventually plan to add an aga machine, either a 1200 or 4000.  For the 1200 and 4000, it seems like the best solution is to get PCI slots, then add a PCI video board.  Is this right?  What happens to the native amiga modes?  Can the PCI video boards display them or do you have two monitors?

Is there a higher resolution solution for the 2000?  Does the amber board just flicker fix and give you a vga connector or does it support higher resolutions?  I'm guessing this is what the picasso board is for?

It would be nice if there were an amiga video card tutorial somewhere.  And I'm not even sure I would use these higher resolutions anyway.

Thanks to everyone for all the info.  I guess I'll plan for a picaso board at some point and a mediator/1200 or 4000 in the future.
