- I don't think you're doing anything wrong. My system has an analogous
- limitation which prevents me from using the 800x600 mode; however, 1024x768
- works flawlessly.

- Would anyone care to comment on a multisynch monitor (like the NEC)? Will
- this kind of investment insure that our monitor will always synch to the
- card? I have been considering this kind of investment, but I'm approaching
- it cautiously because my current monitor does such a nice job.
