I apologize for not giving more info in my previous post...

I am using a 386 pc and trying to visualize 3d vector fields.  I wrote
some C code to see how fast i could flip between pages and found that
flicker reduces if i put some delay between the paging (vs no delay).
10 milliseconds delay seems to work alright. But superimposed on the
flicker is a rather slow "beat frequency" type flicker. I am
interested in using an LCD Shutter system with my programming possibly
use the parallel or serial port for switching.  Now the question is
will the switching speeds i am talking about here and the resulting
flicker from paging make this project rewarding? Since i cant spend
too much money on this project I would greatly appreciate some advice
in this matter.

PS: Am I better of in trying to image the 3d data using standard 3d to
2d tranform given the limited resources that i have to work with?
