Nope, only gfx card if you don't ewanna towerize is the Bvision which you need a Blizzard PPC card for.
And there's this: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...cgi?HARDID=498 |

@Interceptor
A scandoubler can in no way be compared to a graphic card. A graphic card will allow you to run higher resolution screens with more colours without using valuable chip ram. With a scandoubler you will just be able to view native Amiga screens on a PC monitor, but it will still have the limitations as your current setup. A Blizzard PPC + BVision PPC combo would be the ideal; a fast accelerator with a fast graphic card. |

my primary problem is not enough resolution. i just cant do interlace, it does my head in. the 640 across is fine, but i want my 480+ down.
just though a gfx card would be a nicer option, which it is, but looks to me like the blizzard ppc thing and the gfx addon is going to cost me and arm and two legs...ebay is not the place for a bargain these days. but i'll keep and eye out. |

hmmm theres dbl pal, if you have a flicker fixer and a half decent monitor, flicker fixer might set you back a bit. lol according to ebay prices almost as much as a gfx card and busboard.
good luck interceptor |
