Shouldn't mem transfers for Mediators (orother brands) for A4000 be faster the equivalent A1200's??

Ditto about performance.

The whole point of graphics accelerators is exactly that.  After all, if it was just throughput, we'd all use our fast CPUs and DDR400 RAM :¬) (or better yet, RAMBUS..)

Even though WOS is famous for its' bugs, this one is not software. The 8mb limit is in Mediator hardware. No software can fix this.

Well, you can "see" the whole memory area on a graphics card (even if it got more than 8 MB of memory) if you use the Mediator drivers in MMU mode. Only works on 68k though.

GRex (that connects directly to BPPC pci-like bus) has no such limit.

Instead the G-Rex sucks completly ;-)

(I tried one a year ago, so I know)

Saying "Instead the G-Rex sucks completly" is not very meaningful.
What problems did you have and what didn't work as expected?
