WTB: graphics (RTG?) card for A4000 (+info wanted)

[McVenco]

I'm looking for a graphics card for in my A4000. As I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for, I hope you guys/gals can give me some hints what I should best buy.

What I want to do with my machine:

1. Regular Workbench usage, with a resolution of some 800x600 in 24 bit (1024x768 would be nice though...). I'm not planning to play DVD movies or anything, but I like to be able to view photos from my camera and tweak the WB looks a bit with jpg-backdrops and icons with lots of different colors.

2. At the moment I have a M1438S monitor, when possible I would like to be able to use this (with a RGB-VGA connector converter), but I want to get a standard VGA monitor in the future (I guess this means the card must have a SD/FF).

3. Still be able to use ye olde DPaint LoRes screenmodes (320x200) - also on a VGA monitor.

What would be a good card to buy? I know a PicassoIV can do a lot/everything, but are there any cheaper/simpler cards which can do abovementioned stuff?


All info is welcome. And also any offers if you have a card for sale :-)

best price vs performance and has a built in monitorswitcher

Can I also display, say, PAL HiRes Lace without flicker on a VGA monitor then? (I really am quite a n00b with graphics stuff)

So if I understand correctly, I will still need a scandoubler to display the standard Amiga screenmodes?

For instance: if I run Workbench in a Cybervision screenmode, and I open a program that switches to a 15KHz screenmode (like DPaint or Protracker), the screen will just black out/do random flashing stuff?

Well, I guess hereby is my WTB call for a PicassoIV then. If anyone has one up for sale, drop me a line and name a price.
