Let me put it this way--I have a Matrox Millenium w/ 4 MB and I run it at
1600 x 1200 in high color (64K colors) without so much as a flicker.
Memory on your video card has nothing to do with the flicker factor you
describe--it just determines color depth capability for a given resolution.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience...I *think* I did warn you about
that card though...
