- It`s not sooo bad (by animations and so on)...

-
- Nonsense... both modes are flicker-free... but in the first mode there are
- 6 pictures the Amiga draw per sec. (less CPU time)... & in the second mode
- he draws 4 pictures per sec. (cost`s more CPU time)... you can belive me...
-
- But on the A3000UXD I don`t realize any CPU comping from both modes...
