Just a reminder? If you haven?t already, be sure to check out http://xp-refresh.net and learn about the refresh rate limitations in Windows XP and how you can help get Microsoft to fix them in the next release of Windows.

Thanks for the info JasonWebb - This is one of the first things I noticed about Win XP, who is the idiot over at Microsoft who thought to take out that 'optimal' setting for the refresh rates. I can only imagine how many XP users right now are running their monitors unknowlingly at 60Hz!!

Hmm, what the hell are you guys talking about? I get my choice of refresh rates of my Samsung 900NF and my Sony G520 using a PCI ATI Rage128 card and an nVidia GeForce3 (both refresh at 85Hz). Moreover, my girlfriend is running 85Hz refresh rate on her PCI ATI Rage128 Pro ALL-IN-WONDER on her Sony monitor.

You talking about under games? Why not download the nVidia refresh rate fix for WinXP ???

EDIT: You guys download any "driver" files for your monitor? I don't see why you can't get a decent refresh rate...also, NEVER use the "optimal" setting if that's available--I always set it to whatever I want my refresh rate to be.
