I paid $300 extra to get the "Super-VGA" card and multi-sync
monitor for my system. I finally received the Windows 3 driver
in the mail the other day and sprinted up to my computer room
to install it. (I've had the machine for 2 weeks and had never
run it in Hi-Rez mode). Much to my chagrin, I discovered that
the flickering I encountered running in this mode was unbelievable.

I had read that you would encounter "slight" flickering when 
running an interlaced monitor and card in this mode but did not
think it would be this bad. 

1) How can anyone use this combination?
2) Are some monitor / card combos worse than others ? 
3) Are people spending the extra money to buy non-interlaced ?
4) Is it worth having 1024x768 on a 13" monitor in the first place ?

Thanks, I know that technically, I'm posting to the wrong newsgroup,
but I thought maybe lots of people would be in the same boat.
