Re: Transwarp GS vs. Zip GSX

[willie@singapore.com (Willie Yeo)]

   I used to have both.

   On a soup'ed up Transwarp GS and ZipGSX (9MHz/32k Cache), the Transwarp
has an edge over the Zip.

   Both can upgrade their processors easily, and the crystal oscillator.

   I loved the animated Transwarp GS graphics upon powering up the IIGS
(of course, you can disable it !). It draws more power (you can see by the
number of ICs on the board), and the upgradability is hard (not
impossible). You need to buy a daughter-card for the Transwarp for 32k
cache.

   The ZipGSX is better as the power consumption is lower, so it does not
generate more heat than a Transwarp GS on a stock IIGS. And it is easily
expandable, a matter of replacing the cache on the card rather than a
daughter board, You'd be able to bump the speed higher on the ZipGSX, and
more cache (I am still too chicken for the 128k split cache.
