- >1) How much software doesn't it work with?
-
- Any program that is OS-friendly and written accordingly to C='s guidelines
- will work just fine. I haven't found any programs that I haven't been able
- to run after installing the CyberVision64 and CyberGraphX on my dear a3000.
- (DeluxePaint has to be run on non-CyberGraphX screens to work though).
-
- >2) Does it let you run AGA and if so how well?
-
- Nope, no real AGA-emulation with CyberGraphX, bu then who cares about slow
- AGA anyway...
-
- >3) Overall, how happy are you with it?
-
- Couldn't be more happy! After installing the CV64 intuition is several
- times faster and more 'snappy' and it's great being able to run WB in
- resolutions up to 1600x1280 in 256 blazingly fast colors...
- The only drawback is that highresolution, highcolor-screens eats up your
- fastmem pretty quickly. To 'avoid' this, or at least minimize the
- fastmem-usage I run most programs in WB-windows instead of letting them
- open their own screen (though, not all programs are able to open as
- windows.)
-
-
- If you have the money, go for the CV64, it won't disapoint you... If you
- have a decent monitor you should get the 4Mb-version since you're then able
- to run higher and deeper resolutions.
