     After cursory inspections of several high end PC/AT graphics boards,
Iiam left wondering if anyone has foundione ofithese particularly useful
for displayiof animation sequences. Specifically, I would like to display
a sequence (<24) of high resolution images at frame rate (between 30 and 60Hz).
I would settle forimonochrome images if I could find a board with a sufficient
number of planes which would permit selective displayiof one plane per refresh.
Alternatively,iI would need a system whichicould fill a display buffer within
one refresh cycle (guaranteed).

     Would a TARGA board give me the plane cycling capability? Are any others
suitable? Or should I be looking at non IBM compatibleihardware? Any insight
would be greatly appreciated. Please reply by mail and I'll summarize toithe
net if appropriate.
