Hi All-
For a long time I solved my flicker problems with a C20284 slow phosphore monitor.  Gave good high res flicker free NTSC and mild flicker in PAL.  When that burned out I bought a scan doubler/FF and pluged it into an old VGA monitor.  This gives a very solid NTSC, but distorted PAL.  Sounds from the above like a Picasso would give me faster better service.  However, how much do I gain from a graphic card plugged into a zorro 2 slot in my A4000 (040@50mhz)?  And would I need a new Buster to run the graphics card in zorro3?  I'm pretty happy with the graphic speed (GUI feels faster than my windows 1.3 mhz machine at work), except that I can't play the movie clips on my amidos 3.9 disk at full speed.  Bumping the CPU up from 25 mhz to 50 mhz didn't help frame rate much at all, so I'm thinking the bottleneck is in AGA.  Could I get where I want to be with an older cheaper card like the spectrum?  Any thoughts based on experience will be wecome.
Yours-
