GFX cards
« on: June 07, 2003, 05:29:30 PM »
I'd like to get some opinions on GFX cards.
A few months ago I bought a Retina Z2 card and
also a FireCracker24 card. I wanted better GFX.
(both are for sale by the way). They arn't
supported under Picasso 96.
I have an A3000 w/A3640 & OS3.1.
I upgraded IBrowse a few months ago and am
disappointed with the GFX on my EGS machine.

So.. I'd like some opinions on the best GFX
cards. The 'PROs & CONs' of the cards.

Hmmm ... all is interesting.....

Just what is the Mediator??
It kinda sounds like something I have been
wondering about.
Since my knowledge of the hardware is really
'Squat' , I have been wondering why someone
hasn't come up with some kind of jumper
board to use the PC slots and PC video cards
and maybe even sound cards.  It seems like
a logical step.
I know everyone is looking sideways at the PC
and wondering why we can't have the GFX like
that. Face it 'HAM' doesn't get it anymore.
As I said ' there must be a reason, but' "What"??

Ahh yes.. :-D
I just went on SoftwareHut and by golly there
it was .. the 'Mediator'  :-P
It does sound good, but as was said 'its Pricey'.
I'll have to give it some thought. I would think
that the market is large enough that with a little
better price they would sell more and still cover
the 'R&D'  and make a good profit. But thats just
my opinion  :-D .
I'll probably end up going with one of the others..
depends on what I can find.
