Elbox Spider sales began : Comment 12 of 16 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 26-Sep-2002 09:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 4 (Christophe Decanini): as anyone who knows how these PCI boards work you'd KNOW that it
must use DMA local memory on the BUSBOARD - eg the voodoo memory
to get high transfer speeds - otherwise it'd have to use the trapdoor
port at 8MB/s and that would swamp the connection and slow down
the graphics, sound, network etc etc on the PCI BUS.
this problem gets blown away when the CPU and system memoey goes onto
the main PCI BUS (ie the SharkPPC plugin)
UNLIKE the old Amiga tradition, this DOESNT slow down the CPU or
system BUS
this is odl classic hardware, and certain things must be done
in certain ways.....unlike all the new systems coming out.
take it, or leave it.
