Radeon 9200 256MB & RAM

[Harry]

Thanks for the information and encouragement. I can get  approx. 1280 x 900 screens on the ZIII but can only have one open at a time due to 'lack of chip ram.'  It's good
to know I can use the Radeon as my display card with more ram.  I'll post here again
after I get the package and, hopefully, set it up correctly.  I never had any trouble setting up the Retina drivers but gave up, after many attempts, to get the CyberGraphX v4 software  to work with either the Retina or a 64/3d card.  Hopefully I'll have better luck with p96 and the radeon.

I ordered also Mediator A3/4000T with the Radeon 256MB back on October 20th...still no package arrived yet and no reply from Elbox last week when I emailed them requesting status.

I think they may be making new batches, or waiting for enough orders to ship....

In fact on their site the availability of the Mediator 3/4000T reads "two weeks".

I only wish they would have improved them more...trying to find 5V only cards is a pain in the ass, as most cards require 3.3V nowadays.  The only one that can support 3.3V is the Mediator TX for the A1200.

If you have the Mediator with a PCI gfx card, can you take out all your fastram and utilise the gfx card ram as fast ram only? So in other words, I mean could I take the simms off a MKIII card and access the faster fastram from the PCI gfx card???

The RAM on PCI gfx card is slower than the RAM on MKIII.

Is there any other ram option that is faster?

There's certainly no extra memory you can add to the system that is going to outpace the RAM on the accelerator board (well, not unless you find some way of adding your own external CPU cache )

In relation to your sig Karlos reminds me of a david mitchell quote." I don't have OCD, I know I don't because I've checked 400 times"

:lol:

I think I do have a touch of OCD. I feel oddly compelled to check things, such as the checking that I've locked the door more than once when leaving. I find I doubt whatever I've done that was too autonomic, so to combat it, I've started "paying attention" when doing these basic things then resisting any subsequent urge to check.

i have voodoo3 currently working in my rig. ive got 9250/128 too. if stuffed in, it appears divided into 2 segments in pciinfo or medication, so i guess its ready to work (looking at the connector should be an universal one). now, is that possible to keep both cards in, i dont want to resign on voodoo because of w3d? if i let both in then i got either continous reset or hit and crash whether from radeon or voodoo.card, depends which is in upper slot.

Well, I got the Mediator A4000T package with Radeon and have it installed so most things work however I can not open TV Paint 3 due to 'can't find Retina hardware' and the free version of TV Paint 3.6 I have requests a serial number which
I don't have....   Other initial problems are that I can't get Directory Opus 4 to open
on the Radeon screen, and both my Deneb card and ZoRam cards don't seem to
work with the Mediator...  Thanks for any advice you can give me.
