     After cursory inspections of several high end PC/AT graphics boards,
I am left wondering if anyone has found one of these particularly useful
for display of 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 for monochrome images if I could find a board with a sufficient
number of planes which would permit selective display of one plane per refresh.
Alternatively, I would need a system which could 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 compatible hardware? Any insight
would be greatly appreciated. Please reply by mail and I'll summarize to the
net if appropriate.
