My understanding is that it will be available sometime next year, connector will be DVI-I, and it will have improved memory performance (vsynced 75Hz PAL mode for us CRT junkies).

More info in this EAB thread.

This just dawned on me!  Now why would you want a DVI-I connector and vsynced 75hz for a CRT?  I don't even know of any CRTs that have DVI connectors.

Even if you do get a CRT monitor with a DVI connector, it's still going to be an analog signal (though I guess coming from an Amiga it would be anyhow?  Analog-digital-analog....)

Thinking about it though, I could actually just get a VGA-DVI adapter now and connect that to the backplane instead of the vga connector from the Indivision AGA MKI that I currently have if I wanted natural DVI.  But then again I have a Radeon with DVI and the VGA from the Indivision connected to an LCD monitor at the same time so I can just switch between the two when needed.

As Xanxi said, the HighGFX mode is rather slow, but from what I understand the MKII is supposed to have some faster bits to it so that may change.

I currently have a A4000 040/25 and a Mediator with Radeon and you can definitely tell there is a large speed difference in 1024x768 16million colors on the radeon compared to the 1024x768 256 colors of the HighGFX.
