I guess my eye is just as sensitive as yours. I recently started using
640x400 at 70hz instead of 800x600 at 60hz just for that reason. although i
see noticeable improvements, but flickering is still quite noticeable even
when using a more gentle color scheme.

my monitor is capable of operating 800x600 non-interlaced at 90hz, is there
any graphics card that take advantage of that?

PS. Gateway 2000 owners with VGA 1024 can get upgrade to VGA Wonder Plus for
$99 dollar directly from ATI. VGA Wonder Plus comes with a mouse and operates
at 70hz for all modes. I'm waiting for it and planning to sell my MS mouse. :-)
