Thoughts on the cyberstorm Mk II and III

The CSMKII does not have SCSI built in, so it will work in the 3000 w/o the INT2 mod.  Also the MKII can be overclocked to 66MHz very easily as long as you have good SIMMs.  The MKIII has UW SCSI built in so you need the INT2 mod and it does not overclock easily.  Also on the MKII you can mix and match SIMMs whereas on the MKIII you cannot, they have to be in patched pairs.

@Corrie:

And SCSI works fine too? I remember some reports that up to 65MHz it was fine but over that caused SCSI errors or something.  Well on the MKII most had a socket so it was way easy to overclock, just pop in a new 66MHz oscillator.  I also heard MKII's were able to go to 80MHz more often than any other accelerator ever made!!!

I own a MKII and a GVP-m 4060, both OC.  Well I am running at 60MHz on my MKII as it is in a 3000 and has no fan, and I have crappy SIMMS that cannot handle 66MHz. LOL  But on my 4000 I have it at 66MHz and it works fine w/128MB Fast...

I was doing some benchmarking on my GVP-m 4060 T-Rexx and when run at 66MHz it outperformed the Phase 5 CSMKII @ 66MHz...  I highly recommend this GREAT card...  I wonder how it compares to the MKIII @ 66MHz?
