Well, whilst I have a Mediator and a Virge gfx card in it (which is working
fine - it's the /DX variation) I'm not sure I can be much help as :
a) I've no idea what sort of speeds you're getting with the ZII and PIV
b) I'm only running mine on an 030/50! :)
What I can tell you is that at 800x600 with 16k colours, my workbench draws
a bit nippier than an AGA at 256 colours. With the same processor.
What you've also got to bear in mind is whether you would get any other PCI
cards for it (I bought mine partly because of the sound card possibilities,
but also because I got the gfx card free a while back so it was the cheapest
way of getting a gfx card on my machine :)
TTFN,
James.
