A (somewhat) related question: I want the function of the FlickerFixer,
which I can get here in Europe for (I think) about $500. I already have
an Eizo/Nanao Multiscan monitor, so there's no problem (I have an B2000).

I just wonder: does it CURRENTLY exist any video card that will give me
the same function as the FlickerFixer + some other better resolution
modes that preferrably would be supported by some programs? It would be
nice if it didn't cost more than $1000, at least not much more.
