#Mach64 Help

Oh yeah? Try running a PCI version (which I'm sure is what he's using). The new
Vibrant drivers are better but not yet perfect. It still takes longer than it
should to load 3D Studio and Windows will not run after a 3DS session. I would
give the same advice. Stay away from ATI and get a Viper 64 or anything else
for that matter.
Gus;
What do you think of the NEW Hercules 64 card that is about to come out.
Supposed to be really fast…

Zac,
I have never seen nor heard about the new Hercules 64 board. I used to have a
Hercules (Chrome I think) and that's all I know about it. Note that the ATI is
pretty Zippy provided you don't have to be switching from one environment to
the next. I "fixed" my problem by not running 3D Studio with it. I use a twin
computer setup. 3D Studio runs on a computer with a plain old Viper and
everything else runs on the computer with the ATI (I guess I can call that a
"dual pentium system", ain't it?!) <g>
Gus;
You lucky dog. A dual Pentium system. I only have one Pentium at the moment,
and a couple of 486s. But now that I am used the the Pentium, I just can't
work on a 486. I guess it is time to upgrade one of them.

The ISA and VLB versions of the ATI seem to work fine. I've had no experience
with the PCI version, but that's good to know.
Greg Pyros and I worked this out earlier this week. It does seem that the only
card in the Mach 64 line that's having major problems now is the PCI version.
Hopefully this problem will get worked out soon as I'm sure Vibrant is aware of
it.

F.Y.I. This thread started 4 months ago.

Yup I was going to get the PCI version… Thanks for confirming there is still
a problem with ATI and Vibrant. Have you had any problems with the Viper 64?

I don't have the Viper 64. I still am running an old Viper PCI (P9000) with 3D
Studio. I think Alan Iglesias has one. I do use the ATI for everything else on
my main computer and I really like it though.
