- It requires at least 3.0

-
- What do you mean with 'bounce back'?
-
- : 3. Does Cybergrafix supply this?
-
- What?
-
- : 4. PicassoII (the front runner) as fast Cyber64,EGS and RetinaZIII?
-
- Zorro3 is *much* faster than Zorro2. In a 3000 you should consider a
- Zorro3-card (RetinaZ3, CyberVision64, or PiccolloSD64)
-
- : 5. does Cybergraphix equalize the speed on all the boards?
-
- No, it equalizes the software-interface. All boards use the same library.
- The only difference is the monitor-file. The great thing is that the
- software doesn't care (know) what board it's on. Of course a CyberVision64
- is still much faster than a Picasso2.
-
- : Basically which board Is the one I want?
-
- You want the CyberVision, but that costs a lot. A used RetinaZ3 would be
- fine (be sure to not get a RetinaZ2!!!), but you should buy CyberGraphX as
- well (that's for all boards btw, except of course Cybervision)
-
- Hope this helps,
