Default Prelude or Toccata? which is best for my A3000 '060
I'm upgrading my A3000 which was only a 2mb chip 4mb fastram machine with a Cybervision 3D card in it.
I'm waiting for a Cyberstorm MKII card to arrive and Im going to fit a network card and a soundcard and I've found a store which sell a used Prelude and a Toccata soundcard and I wondef which is the best choice for 16bit playback and using AHI for games?
Since Elbox hasn't released the dragon yet I have put my A1200 power tower object on the shelf and I'm concentrating on upgrading my A3000 in the original desktop case :-)

Well, I have a Prelude and I'm happy with it, sound quality is excellent, although I've not tried it with games yet.

All depends how much they are asking :-)

I think both cards are very good, the Prelude has the abillity to add some extensions, but they are very rare. MP3 playback is with both cards very cpu intensive, because of the missing DSP. The best card for your A3000 would be a Defina, IMHO.

I wouldn't touch either of the cards you mentioned, indeed when it comes to sound card, I would recommend the Delfina above all others, accept no substitute.
