I had a flicker-free video board when I got the picassoII.  The combination
lets you use any VGA+ monitor.  I use a ViewSonic 17.  It allows me to have an
800x600 WB at a 75Hz refresh rate.  Nice on the eyes.  Higher WB resolutions
work, but things slow down as the number of pixels on screen increase
geometrically.

I use Mand2000; PageStream; Final Copy; TurboText; and ADPro with the
Picasso's native hires, and/or hicolor modes.  Lots of PD programs work quite 
well with it also, including Term, and ChaosPro.

Once I got past the hair-pulling part of installing it, I feel it's one of the
 finest upgrades I ever made for my Amiga.
