Display a moving text on 8×8 matrix LED

It is very difficult to display a moving text on a matrix LED. You have to give 64 commans (8 x 8 matrix LED) in every milisecond but a MAX7219 makes the same result in a few commands.

RS finland has 8×8 matrix LED with interface chip (I guess a MAX7219 embedded in it) but it cost 40euro! You can buy 5×7 matrix LED at Bebek. It just cost a few euro.
