Mediator 4000Di questions
« on: June 08, 2010, 09:38:13 PM »
Hi guys

Sent an email to Elbox but no response (not a good sign). I saw their latest advertisement for a bundle deal on a Radeon w/Mediator 4000 Di and have a few questions before taking the plunge. The system I'm looking at this for currently contains a CSPPC/CVPPC (128MB RAM) if it makes any difference.

Questions are:

1. Will I be able to run the Radeon at 1920x1080?

2. I think I've read somewhere that the Radeon is not usable in OS 4.0 due to a lack of drivers. Is there a PCI video card that is equally supported in 3.9/4.0 or would I still need the CVPPC in 4.0?

3. I've got a few of the D-Link PCI 10/100 network adapters that are listed on their 'supported' page. Will this work in both 3.9/4.0? The 4000 currently has an Ariadne in her that works fine under both and need to maintain that level of connectivity.

4. Any downsides to running the Mediator instead of the standard daughterboard? Are power requirements higher etc etc? This 4000 has an ATX power supply fitted anyway but may look at getting another Mediator for a 4000 w/standard power supply.

5. Using a Soundblaster 128 audio card has no effect on the audio quality of games does it? I don't do much with Amiga audio..just gaming.

6. Does the Cyberstorm RAM and Radeon RAM (configured as fast) stack or is it use one or the other? Would the RAM access speed to the Radeon be faster than the Cyberstorm?

It would be nice to hear about any other notable experiences people have had :)

Many thanks
