Yes.  However, a VGA monitor can't be used with the 'normal' output of thte
Amiga, so you would be REQUIRED to use the fF from then on.  A multisync
could display either the fF output OR straight Amiga RGB.  Not a big
deal to most people, but it is a difference.

Buying just the multisync or Amiga monitor doesn't deinterlace the display,
that is, you still get the flicker that flickerFixer fixes.  But it's
certainly cheaper.
