Rick,
The FlickOFF option adds a whole 'nother list of questions. If you don't mind,
let me know as soon as you get the spec sheet. Here's a couple
questions/comments that immediately came to mind:
1) Ariel Butler reminded me that Ami slows down the more colors you use.
Apparently the flickerFixer is able to do them quickly, no problem.
The new chipset would have the same slowdown. So I would have to assume
(granted this is a big assumption this early in the game) that FlickOFF
would go through the same rought as normal Ami video and would therefore
slow down just as much.
2) On the other hand it would probably retain that much more compatibility
with new stuff down the line. Unlike flickerFixer, which (from what I
gather) seems to do more of its own thing (especially since it's got its
own video output).
3) At any rate, unless FlickOFF really turns out to solve every problem, I
think I can get a flickerFixer for about $50 dollars more, I know
it works because several people have used them already, and I can get one
right away (computer guys are so impatient when it comes to new toys 🙂
4) Once WB1.4 arrives (which could truthfully be a long time) and if there's a
piece of software that really shines using the new chips I'd have to buy
the new Agnes and Denise(?) whether I had FlickOFF or FlickerFixer right?
And by that time I could probably afford them too.
I'm cheap enough to wait a little bit longer for the nitty gritty on FlickOFF.
What do you think a couple weeks maybe? Based on what everyone's been telling
me, I should be able to get a solid monitor for $500 out of Computer Shopper
(you have any suggestions on what brand?, model).
Thank you,
Brent Anderson
