I must admit, I haven't found that much speed increase between PAL interlace and multiscan productivity mode, for average workbench use.

Higher resolutions would be nice of course.

On my machine which is a 50mhz 060, I get 50% Quadra 950 speed in shapeshifter in multisync and 100% in 640x512 PAL interlace...

that is a huge difference in the playability of games.


Ah, I don't use shapeshifter so I can't speak for that :)

I'll check that tonight :)

I usually just run 32 colours in WB but if it's a huge difference, it might be worth the consideration once I have spare change.

its sad to say but AGA really only could perform on-par with 640x480@8bit SVGA or Mac video of that era if it ran in interlace mode...


So I tested it. Interlace is a tad snappier but its pretty pokey either way, to be honest.
