Yes, there are 1024 x 768 noninterlace VGA cards that cost $100.  That's how much I paid for mine and its surprisingly quick, considering its running only on a 286 system.  Perhaps if CBM would make a "VGAish" Zorro card and some sort of software interfacing then the critics of the amigas graphics would be silenced.  It doesn't have to have a super graphics coprocessor ($$$$$$ for that) either.  Everything else on the Amiga is great except for its dated graphics abilities. 
I used to own an Amiga, and wouldn't mind getting another one as long as I don't have to spend $700 just for a video card.  The SVGA monitor by itself nearly broke my wallet...
