There are about a dozen or so graphics boards for the Amiga, which
all vary in price, preformance, quality, and task they are suited
for.  The Toaster gets mentioned so often because it is not just a
graphics board, but the heart of a TV studio (Switcher, character
generator, etc) and comes with an incredible 3D animation package as
well.  Personally, I have no use for the toaster, but I could find a
use for DMI's Vivid 24 (an accelerated 24 bit board, with
programable resolution, upto at least 1280x1024).  Now if only I
could afford it :)
