2 Quick Questions - V3 AGP Bus, Monitor Problems

[tasslex]

Two quick questions:

1) I have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP Running in a BX6 2.0 with a P3 500 stock, and am thinking about getting a P3 866 on the cheap. I will be running at 133FSB, so the AGP will be at 2/3 = 89. I am wondering if a Voodoo3 3000 AGP can handle this?

2) I have a fairly new 17" monitor, and when I run it at 1024x768 at anything higher than 60Hz, if gets very blurry, more so the higher it goes. Is this monitor just a POS, or is there something I can do?

Thanks much!

Dunno about question 2, but my old AGP Voodoo3 2000 worked flawlessly on my BX6-2 on a p3 600@800 (6x133).

Is the monitor blurry so you can still make out icons and such or can you not make out anything? If its the latter, then its a limitation of the monitor.

It's blurry as in I can read the text on the screen and such, but everything is a bit out of focus. It's just blurry enough where it's difficult to use. I think it is somehow related to the brightness of what is in screen - if I put a dark/black background in Windows it's not as bad - when I pop open IE to a blank white page everything gets very blurry, and the edges of the monitor where I have it stretched to via geometry controls pop OUTWARDS, like the screen is expanding on the face of the monitor.

I figure it's probably just that the monitor is a piece of crap, but anythings worth a shot.

I have tried it with different video cards and OS's though, so I know for sure that it is the monitor.

My v3 agp can run on a 100MHz agp bus(tested on my old bx board)
