	Why?  What's this got to do with the 2320 OR the FlickerFixer?

	I still haven't seen any leading back to your argument...  Is it
possible that you are mistaking the functions of these boards?  Probably
not but I don't see what ECS, VGA and more than 16 colours in Hi-res have
to do with increased scan speed.  From reading about both products I feel
that while the 2320 is not PERFECT it is still better than the
FlickerFixer.  Do you have a solid argument why it isn't?
