Mediator with Bvision PPC issues, HELP is needed.

[WillSmith]

gday mate,

I've got a pretty similar system to you and I'm not having any probs with my sb 128. You could try going into mixer and turning down, or muting your 3d sound. I've got mine muted coz it sounds crap and i control all that stuff externally. Hope that helps.

Are you comparing it to another BPPC? or that doesn't matter?

Anyway... I'm not a tech wizz, I don't know the tech reason why but I find that V3 is much faster than BV on my systems but then I'm comparing a BPPC160/040/25+BV to CSPPC/180/060/50+V3 so...

Hehe, were getting pretty off topic. But...

-/edit-

Both my test systems are 68040. The Mediator/Voodoo3000 is 3MHz faster and has faster RAM access than the 040 on the BPPC .

Of course, comparing a 68060 to a 68040 is totally unfair when you consider we are really talking about the speed of the driver setup code (far less of an issue on 060) and the bus speed (060 at 50MHz naturally should have faster access than 25MHz 040).

Your CSPPC/060 + Voodoo3 is of course a faster system overall - faster CPU(s), faster GPU compared to your BPPC/040 + BVision. For games and such, differences at the driver level are totally eclipsed by the other operations the CPU has to perform. The 060 runs rings around an 040.
