The closest thing to a "dream card" that I've heard of is the new one from
GVP, the PVA (hmmm...wasn't Commodore showing a product at trade shows
about a year ago called the PVA, with similar specs?  Hmmm)
 
In addition to using a TMS34020 and providing flicker-free 24bit RGB in
overscan, with genlocking, it also provides for full-motion video in a
window on the WorkBench!!!  It's supposed to come bundled with a 24bit
version of MacroPaint, and they're going for Caligari as well.
 
According to AmigaWorld, it'll be out this summer for about $2K.  Not to
bad, and it aught to wax the Mac boards that boast similar specs.
