I have seen in several threads quite the rave about the Awe64 Gold, so to start, would anyone that knows care to explain why? What’s so special about the card and in what situation (machine and/or OS) would you use this card and not any other?
Second, what exactly is the difference (besides the good plated connectors) between the Gold version and the regular vesion? I don’t mean any of the value editions that were released later, I believe those were the 4500, 4520 and ones like that. I mean the original 4380.
Reason I ask besides gaining knowledge is because atm there’s no way I would buy a gold one (the only one listed locally is ablut 100 USD), however I can get a regular original one for about 10 bucks. So wondering if it’s worth it too or just the gold gets the praise.
On a semi-related note, it seems I got a hold of the “semi-AWE64”, the AWE32 CT3670... Any point in getting either of the Golds having this one?
